I have not received it yet, the dealershio needs to find a manual. They did not have one one the lot.
The '04 EX came equipped with Michelins. Not sure of the model.
My 04 6MT Accord V6 came with Michelin MXM 17" 215's . I don't really like them. They have a harsher ride than auto Accords standard 16" tires. It does not really handle that much better.
Honda puts what I call "CAFE" tires on most of it's most common cars. They have a very low rolling resistance, and therefore up the fleet Corporate Average Fuel Economy rating, without regard to ride, handling or traction.
Dealers often let some air out of the tires on the test drive vehicles to mask the harsh ride that the factory tires really provide.
I yanked the OEM tires off my car first chance I got, and installed the Pirelli 225/55-W16 with a load index of 93. I put the lightest LP Cast alloys on the car that I could get cheaply, and together with the tire I shaved six pounds off the corners. This reduction in unsprung weight has definitely helped the suspension work more efficiently.
