Looking for a set of tires for my DD's, we usually roll snow tires so I just need something that is good in the rain and dry.

Prices are welcome.

For the Civic? Check out the Sumitomo P01 A/S, they're an all-season performance tire, but on the Civic you may as well since they'll last longer and get better wet traction than any summer performance tire. Otherwise, Kumho also generally makes some fairly decent cheap all-seasons. I put some $32/tire Kumho's on an ex's Civic and they were surprisingly great all-around tires.

Yeah sorry, for 2005 civic auto.

I don't need them to handle in the snow, I'm just worried about wet traction, want it to get decent mileage and do ok in dry which I'm guessing any tire should do.

Any cheap all-season with a high mileage warranty will be fine.

Looking on TireRack, I'd probably do either the Yokohama Avid Touring-S (65k mile warranty), or the Kumho Eco Solus HM KR22 (100k mile warranty). The Yoko will be the better tire, but the Kumho will last longer and get you slightly better MPG (LRR). If it were me, I'd pick the Yoko.

They seem to be rated pretty good, i just want to buy a decent tire nothing too shitty. So far I think that I will pick those up, the price isn't too bad either. $317.

I'm gonna shop around and see if i can find any better deals.
