too bad they're expensive as hell Kumho Ecsta Supras are ****.
Kumho MIXs are better but loud and don't have aren't any better in terms of longevity than the Supras.
If you want a good cheap tire, Yoko AVS ES100 for dry and wet. If you're not gonna be in a place where it rains, Falken Azenis if you want to go the cheap route.
If money ain't a thang, Bridgestone Potenza Pole Piston S-03 or Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP. They're pretty much the same tire but granted you drive a Civic, you won't notice the difference. The difference in the two is performance... the Bridgestones are better in terms of traction. The Firestones sacrifice that property a little for longevity. Both are exquisite tires.
