I was going to post this in the suspension section but there is very little activity there.
My 90 Honda Civic seems to be very hard on tires (175/70/13). It is aligned & in OK shape suspension wise. I'm lucky to get 20,000 miles out of tires. They don't wear any certain way just go bald. I rotate them, keep the pressures correct, don't spin them off.
I have run Kumho, UniRoyal, Hercules, Primewell.
What tire do any of you recommend? Crap 20,000 miles isn't very good at all. I have thought about Toyo & Bridgestone. I'm leaning toward the Toyo because I have run them on my trucks with great results, my mom use to run them on this Honda. I took off a set that were 10 years old but not a lot of mileage. I should of just run the Toyo until I wore them bald. But my wife was commuting 120/day & I didn't want her having issues with 10 year old tires. But might of had less than with all these others.
Any recommendations are appreciated. THANKS

 

No body runs a favorite tire, or had good or better luck with one brand or another? All these Civics & all the talk of modifying them & nobody looks at tires? Amazing.

 

Wish I could help but I dont know anything about tires. Bridgestone I hear alot about and see them on lots of rigs so I would thing they are good.. Sorry

 

A good alignment will extend tire life. I run whatever is in my budget. If you want performance, get a sticky tire. If you want mileage, get a "low rolling resistance" tire.

Kumho ecsta are on my car for summer. They're ok.

 

Thanks for the input. The car has been aligned twice. The problem isn't uneven wear, just wear out in 20,000 miles. I rotate as I said.
I'm going to try Toyo Tires, & see how they wear. Bridgestone is a good tire but I can get Toyo's about $15/tire cheaper & I know about Toyo tires from experience. I have a set on my 99 Dodge QC 4x4. I have never run Bridgestone before.
As for budget, if a Toyo for $95/ea out the door gets me 40,000 miles then they are cheaper than any of the tires I have run yet. Crap my S-10 Blazer 4x4 I got 50,000 miles on a set of Dayton 6 ply.
Thanks
