I rolled with Hankook I pikes on the civic for a couple years. (even left them on durring the summer) They have awesome traction (FWD civic could drag it self through hood deep snow). I also got 55mpg all summer with them.

I had nokiens on the jetta, and Michelin x ices on the escort. It felt like the civic had more traction and could handle more snow even with less ground clearance.
