Found it!

I did some digging and I was successful in finding the OE tires and size.

This doesn't apply to me but pretty much all other 6th gen Civic owners.

So we are looking at 886 revs per mile for the OE tires for 1996 Civics if you are on 185 65 R 14s. I am on 175 70 R 13 originally and now 175 65 R 14" so 906 revs per mile is probably closer. I would assume that all 6th gen Civics use the same tires although this may not be the case. This compares nicely to the reported revs per mile on my new Michelin Defenders at 905 revs per mile. Still doesnt change much as far as odometer accuracy but now we know.
