Magical!? You have my attention.

I think you might mean magical because the stock 1st gen Insight tire size is the same as the stock Mirage tire: 165/65r14.

But these Civic wheels are 185/65r15. The tires on them are just old, worn out rebranded Canadian Tire garbage. Though they actually seem to roll quite well.

I have a line on a used set of OEM Prius LRR tires that I would put on the Civic wheels: P195/65R15 Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus. But they might not become available for another year.
