I've been looking at the Michelin Hydroedge with Green X tires for my HCH. They are one of the most, if not the most, expensive tire available, but the reviews seem almost too good to be true. They have been rated the best or near the best in every aspect of performance. It seems counter-intuitive that a tire with such a high UTQG rating could also provide good grip, since in theory that means they would be relatively hard. I like the idea of a LRR tire, and the tread design seems like it would provide great wet performance. But I like the tight handling of the Civic and I don't want to hamper it with tires with poor dry performance.
