The Yokohama Avid H4S are pretty good tires. They are mid range as far as price goes, at $62 each. Next best would probably be the Sumitomo HTR H4 and a little cheaper at $53 each.

Had the sumitomos at some point. Allright tire for daily driving. I also like Dunlop SP60's as a cheap no-frills tire.

there's no such thing as "frills" from any all season tire lol. I put sumitomo on my dads civic and they are pretty decent.

I dunno, I liked the faulken ziex. That's about as close to "frills" in an all season that I've come to. Granted they were on the below pictured car, but they sure felt fun.

I'm running Kumho Escta AST's. I like them. Decent all season tire. But I'm running 205/40/15s on Civic Si rims.

Check out Tread Depot in our sponsor section. They'll give you special pricing if you mention you're from HCF.

That is an Eagle Summit AWD Wagon complete with a 2.4L 4G64... or a SНitsubishi Expo LRV micro minivan. Awesome car. I wish I didn't sell it.

treaddepot is a great site to order from, i've ordered tires from them and it was painless.

i got the General Altimax HP from them and it is one of the top rated tires on tirerack from consumers and test from tirerack. i like them, i wouldn't say its the bets tires though. I bumped it up a bit and am using 195/60-14 on my 14" hx wheels.

another tire i recommend is Bridgestone RE960 i have them on my girlfriend's car and they stick to the road pretty good. They are one of the top rated tires on tirerack as well
