Kumhos are good mid range tyres. If you are anywhere near Cwmbran or Newport then try Discount Tyres. http://www.discount-tyres.co.uk/contact.html They ended up being the same price as the online places. I organised a group buy at work and they were cheaper than online and did mobile fitting in our car park for free.

Dont Civics have Bridgestones fitted standard!?
May be worth sticking the original tyres on. Failing that, the best tyres I've had has been Yokohama Parada's. Ive had Toyo Proxes / Kumho / Nankangs / Falkens and The Parada's wipe the floor with the rest. But thats just my experience.

You could try vredesteins, thay are very good, and dont cost the earth. I find Valley Tyres in ponty very good too.

As posted, might be worth trying OE tyres, probably a bridgestone RE070..

Te japs tend to like fitting tyres with hard sidewalls. (My s2K preferred them)

other than that, Toyo's or kumho KU31 are ok, but may wear quick. Other than that you're into the expensive stuff like Pzeros or conti sport contacts.

I would second that. but add Toyo R888's is an ace tyre !

also a good mid range tyre is the Falcon ZIEX ZE912

Google Camskill tyres .. and get them fitted by A2B tyres

If you have a type 'R' then just like the S2000 owners stick with the Bridgestones they are proven. My son finds Bathwick tyres good although I prefer to use tyre-shopper.co.uk. There you can choose where you want them fitted

City Tyres in Nevill Place are very cheap. I would also go original equipment.
