I'm in LA so not a whole lot of rain, though I do go on some trips- probably once a year to Texas in rain, and occasionally snow (I go around December) otherwise mostly just in LA. I'm considering the Accelera Phi R since they're so inexpensive. My car is an 09 fit with around 145K miles.

Does anyone have any experience with these tires?

I currently have Michelin A/S Premier and they've been great but they're rocked right now so anything new will surely feel much better!

Also, I was likely going to get them put on at LA Tires but if anyone has any shop recommendations that would be great. I live in Echo Park.

 

Been using Kumho Solus HA31 185/55/16 V on stock rims since last summer. Performed supremely well in the dry. Never got me stuck in the snow/ice (I would say they are about 8/10 the winter performance of my Michelin X-Ice 3), great in the rain. Try finding another tire in this size that is also V rated as a bonus. Only hiccup was a sidewall bulge not covered by warranty. Would recommend.

 

Unfortunately, that tire doesn’t seem to be easy to find in my area. I’ll call around but online searches don’t seem to have it in that size.

 

My other choice was the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady but in 195/55/16 H.

 

Michelin tires all day! The only brand I run on my vehicles.

 

I ended up with the Yokohama Avid Ascends in 205/50/16. Got a good price on em and so far I'm pretty satisfied.
