What tires are you guys running on the stock 205-55-16 wheels?

I have a 2012 EX. With only about 30k miles the stock Continental tires are already showing a lot of wear. I find this disappointing. I was hoping to get 50k or more miles out of them. I live in New England and I'd be looking for a high quality all season tire.

After a little research Goodyear, Michelin and BFG seem to have some good looking products.

BFG makes great tires!

I'm a fan of Michelins.
Not all, but many.

They make good tires also! I'm sure every brand has a bad tire.

I have had Yokohama all seasons before and I liked those.

Pick your size, pick some brands and styles, read reviews.

Those reviews are great reference, but I was wonder what our members here are using and having good luck with. Some of these reviews aren't by people who have Civics.

Factory tires are 30-40k in most cases.

I have had wonderful luck with my Michelin Harmony tires (they no longer make them) Rated at 80k, and they make it using X rotation throughout their life.

The replacement for these is now 90k. (Defender)

This is the type of reply I'm looking for.

Those reviews from the tire selling websites are from almost every vehicle imaginable. Few are from Civic owners from my part of the country.

Craig, what kind of mileage were you getting out of these before you hit the wear bars? The defender looks like a good tire.

They all reached their rated life, can get a little scary in the winter near the end.... but I just took it easy.

The Defender does look good, and 90k as well.

I like micheline tires. because I have heard good things about the
Pilot tires and MX4"s all season as well, both ride quite and offer great
traction in all season weather.
