right now I've got Yokohama T4 on stock rims. They're a nice tire with excellent dry traction and very good wet traction. </P>
The only bad thing about these tires is they are a bit noisy on the highway.</P>

Since I will only be using the Civic as a daily driven car (no racing), how much should I spend for each tire that offers great traction in dry/wet conditions & is also rated very well. I'm looking to spend anywhere btw $300-350. The wheels will be placed onto a set of 16x7 Konig Quicksilver wheels.</P>

I would definitely recommend the Yokohama T4 for great dry and wet traction. Also, check out the new Yokohama H4s/V4s.

Maybe the best choice for me is theKumho EcstasASX Ultra high performance tires. They got very good customer ratings and are only $80 each. The size of the tire for the Civic will be 205/45WR16. Is this a good tire company to buy from?</P>

** Maybe the Konig's I posted earlier doesn't fit the Civic Coupe. Coz when I look for a tire that fits it, no matches shows up <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P><edited><editID>Roentgen</editID><editDate>38101.9778125</editDate></edited>

tirerack and tires.com are both pretty reputable. they have a wide variety to chose from and are priced pretty nice. they both carry the big 3 michelin,bfg, goodyear. and the others brands are kinda split between the 2. like tirerack doesnot have nittos i dont think but who knows. either way you will find a good deal.</P>

At Discount Tire Direct, I found some Nitto NT NeoGen VR for $86 each. The tires looks really nice and since the Konig I wanted is out of question, I thought of getting these Fondmetal Tech 5 wheels instead. So its either btw the Nitto or Kumho now as my choice for 16" tires. Here are thewheels I'm thinking abt getting - $131 each: </P>

** Using Discount Tire Direct feature of seeing your car with specific wheels, the Tech 5 actually looks really nice. <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P><edited><editID>Roentgen</editID><editDate>38101.9934259259</editDate></edited>
