I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I mostly want to get quieter tires that also still achieve a good MPG.
Look to see if you can get Michelin Defenders... check 175/70-R13 ... it is a great size and was available when I bouht my current set. They are twice the cost of some others, but they are rated to last twice as long. That'll save you money, since you'll only have to ship once and mount/balance once (instead of twice with 2 sets of cheapo tires for the same miles).

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
