Looking for a good tire for a 2001 Civic sedan for highway commuting in rural Alberta. I'd say 90% of my driving is along major highway ateries, 5% city, 5% gravel. The stock Firestones and replacement BFG T/A M80's didn't fare well in longevity. BFG's were worn down badly after just 43,000 km. Looking for an excellent tire wet or dry with good longevity. Toyo Ultra's, Toyo Spectrum's, Yoko Avid, Bridgestone Turanza have been tossed out by locals. Local Kal Tire is pushing a Kal/Michelin Agility as well as some house brand premium TBC Grand Tour. Kal is also offering their house brand Superlite rims's as very good; this combined with a hub insert to assure proper fit. While I'm at it, not at all familiar with the pro/con, but how would moving from a 14 in (stock) to 15 in rim be? Lot's of questions . . . thanks for any and all.

Bridgestone G009 or BFG Traction TA would be my recommendations, and I would move up to 15" wheels.
