I did start researching tires on Tirerack and the Michelin website. Michelin only recommends the Defender tire for my Civic on their website. Michelin rates the Defender an 8 out of 10 for fuel efficiency on their own website. The reviews of the Defender tire on Tirerack are very good, but a few reviews stated they got worse mpg with the Defenders than the tires that were previously on their car. However some reviews of the Defenders on Tirerack said they got better mpg with the Defenders.

The Michelin Primacy is rated a 10 out of 10 for fuel efficiency on the . Michelin website and rated extremely high on Tirerack, but is not available in the size required for my Civic.

Let's talk about the tires you like to use on you car to increase mpg.
