what do you guys think of these?

i'm looking for some 18 inch tires can't decide on which ones i want. what do you guys think of these tires?link
i know the ratings on the bottom aren't too good, but i still want to know what people with civics say about them. also any other tire suggestions are welcome.

*****to people with yokohama parada spec-2 tires: are these tires noisy after a short period of time and do they where out real fast because of the large chunks of tread? america's tire co told me that they wouldn't recommend these tires for normal driving and that they are made more for racing. they also said these tires are way overated and would last me at best 30000 miles.******

eh, their kinda weird but looks ok. for 129, thats pretty good. i think 30,000 miles is a pretty long time, seeing how my friends only lasted him about 12,000 miles. as for parada2s, eh i dont like how they look. alot of people like them tho.. i got falken 512s, their ok i guess. i've seen better treaded tires but these are all season and have a 30,000miles warranty(i think falken gives you 50k mile tho). but ya those tires look alright except they kinda look like monster truck tires...

I would personally stay away from Dunlops. I have the Falken Beta GRK's and I am happy with those. It's like riding on glue. From what I read though, it's hard to beat the Kuhmo for price vs. performance.
