Two things,

1. If you buy a new civic replace the stock tires around 18-20k miles if you live in snowy climate or 22-24k if you're in a dry climate. These tires caused me to get in an accident in inclement weather due to the TERRIBLE tread life (dealer is replacing them between 19k and 30k).

2. I also have the Yoko Avid TRZ's on the website it doesn't show them made for my car but the dealer was able to get them, great tire, reasonable traction and tons of tread. I am at around 2500 miles on them and they seem to be performing nicely.
