It is. If they aren't offering much for your Civic (a bit odd), play with the size a bit in a tire size calculator- one notch narrower and one notch taller can come pretty close to the same diameter. See what's offered there.

In LRRs for my Fit, Tire rack offers Ecopia EP422s, Contis (Bleah!), Avid Ascends, Dunlop SP31s, Assurance Fuel Maxes and Michelins.

I know what you mean about price- where I am, the Michelins would have cost me $26 more than the Avids. Each. I don't doubt they're better, but in the under $100 tire world nothing's that much better.
