$900 ! They are full of shit...
kudos on getting your daughter a 190,000 mi Accord... good choice for a first ride... hopefully, you got her a 2.4L 4cyl with 16” tires .... once you move beyond 16” tires get stupid expensive... bruhs get a boner over these dumb 18, 19, 20” factory wheel options only to throw their AXE body spray cans in anger as soon as they need replacement tires and see the prices....
First of all, if you are shopping Chinese-made off-brand tires you should have your head examined... if you are not familiar with the mfr name, move on
This fall I needed two sets of snows for my boys cars... i usually troll TireRack , Discount Tire Direct, and Tirebuyer.... selection seemed lame and prices were indeed excessive, even for lowly 15” tires... one of my VW owner forums had rave reviews about Californi-based Giga-tires... sure enough I found Toyo snows for dirt cheap ($65/tire + tax)... service was great, shipped to my home in a couple days w/o drama... was able to find a promo code for free shipping...
link below takes you there... i normally consider only Michelin/Continental/Toyo /Yokohama for my cars, but for an old accord i’d have trouble justifying $100+ tires ... giga tire has some decent options/quality brands in the $66-$80 range (Toyo, Kelly, Falken, Sumitomo)... i’ve got a local guy that mounts / balances for $15/corner... most retailers will hit you for $25-$30 per tire
don’t get hung up about 65,000mi ratings on tires for a car w/200k on the clock... most kids are only gonna put a few thousand miles a year unless she’s an Uber eats driver or a drug mule... you don‘t want her on 5+yr old tires anyway...chances are that Accord is not gonna be around in 5yrs anyway...
if she’s in an area that sees seasonal snowfalls > 60” I can’t recommend REAL winter tires strongly enough... i’ve droned on here over the years how winter tires on a FWD or RWD car is superior to AWD with all-season compounds... good luck
