I'll be needing new tires before winter on my Civic. its got the stock HX 14" rims with a stock size of 185/70's. the only tire i am seeing that is listed as a LRR tire in that size is the Michelin Defenders. I am also considering Kumho KR21's but they are not listed as LRR. The Michelins are about 30%-40% more expensive. Are they worth it? Is there an alternative size I should be considering, like narrower?
