Try different shops in different locations, you'll sure get something reasonable in terms of price.

Different brands have different prices for the same size of tyre.

My suggestion would be that you add up the money you have now and buy two first. Then later you can save up and replace the other two.

Is your Accord manual transmission?
Do you usually observe smoke coming out of your exhaust pipe when the engine is running?
Do you have to top off your engine oil in- between service intervals, to keep it at the recommended level?

While I await your answers, you can do this:

**Examine your engine mounts (popularly called 'engine seats'). There are four of them. One or more could be torn, and can give the vibration.

Hello Guys,

I use an Honda Accord 2002 model and had cause to change the radiator recently due to overheating issues from single cell to double cell. Ever since I changed it, have not enjoyed the radiator for a day.

The issue is that I top water in the radiator every day which gives me concern a lot. As a matter of fact, whenever am travelling and has driven for a period of upto three hours, I need to park and top the water in it which would have gone down a great deal.

Have taken the car to two different mechanics to check but they have not been able to put a stop to this regular and daily topping of water even though they all says the radiator is fine and no area of leakage was found.

I need you guys advice because this issue is giving me a lot of concerns as I no longer uses a/c whenever am travelling now for fear of compounding the problem

describe the vibration properly. Is it vibrating when you accelerate hard, or vibration when you get to speeds of 60m/h or vibrations when you apply brakes?
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by whyteboyz03(m): 12:16am On Jan 24, 2016
Vibration when I accelerate and from 20km/h to 60

Okay guys, another issue that needs assistance. I recently changed my inner cup and ball joint. After coupling with some electrical checks at the fusebox,I noticed my gas gauge isn't rising up and flashing yellow below minimum level. An electrician is suggesting I change the dashboard lol. I've asked him to leave it. I'll prefer to measure my gas level with a stick. What should I check abeg? Any idea
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by magikalz(m): 8:15pm On Jan 28, 2016
Good day everyone, I don't know whether to regret making Honda my first car. I recently got this 2005 Honda Accord, Discussion Continues, V4 engine and I have jumping from one issue to the other. I now wonder if the car is cursed...when idling in traffic, it vibrates, when AC is on and in Neutral, it vibrates. The gear shiftstick lighting doesn't come on and this morning, I turned the ignition, it came on but the engine wouldn't start. It would just kick healthily but won't start. The key in question is the valet key as the seller didn't have the original sensor key.
I called a mechanic and he said the car's security sensor is not recognizing the key and it needs reprogramming. I have spent a lot of money on this supposed 'direct toks' and I'm tired. Thinking of selling it...please I need help fast.
