Need 205/55/16 and its going on an 06 Civic. she HATED the Bridgestone Turanzos (or however you call it) that came with it. she LOVES the bridgestone Potenza G009, which she currently has on the car.( but they’ll chopped… I’ve heard that all the G009’s and some other potenza’s chop.) Her alignment is _Perfect_ so its the tires trust me. The inside edge of the tires are not smooth and its making road noise and pissin her off… She likes: Directional Tread softer rubber over harder rubber a good traction tire that will last a good while. Its not like we’re looking for a straight up performance tire, she’d want to get the potenza’s again but doesnt like that after around 12k miles they start to chop. So what would you Recommend? ---

I liked the G009s too, but they did get a little sloppy after about 15k… I just got a set of Yokohama Avid H4S’s for my G/F’s Tiburon, Treadwear 500… They’ve been nice so far. ---

RE960’s… if they make them in that size… I had them on the goat for 20,000 miles, 5 flashlight drags, 10 trips to PRP, They still look good, and just passed inspection last week, Just pulled them off for new wheels with Potenza RE-01R (INCREDIBLE summer tire)… they are quiet tires too. ---

Can’t really go wrong with Kuhmos. For a DD with no emphasis on performance, Hankooks are decent tires as well. Had them on my GA and my mom has them on her wagon and they’re quiet and have a softer ride. Also those Goodyear TripleAssurance tires have been getting rave reviews. ---
