Hi guys! :)
I have my Civic :honda: for about 4 years – its time to change tyres (done about 75K on original GoodYear Eagle NCT5 set).

Any suggestions for a brand? Yokohama A.Drive? Pirelli P4? GoodYear NCT5? Bridgestone? BFGoodrich?
Pros/cons please…

What is your budget, style of driving, whether you prefer comfort or grip?

Well, I'm old driver but like it "sporty" sometimes (but always up to speed limits). Budget - $100-$150 per tyre, comfort - not realy (pumping NCT5 upto 40 psi), grip - yes, should be good dry/wet. want to have a long life (> 40,000 km), good grip and quiet tyres.

Have a good reviews from tyre places about Yokohama A.Drive and Pirelli P4, but want to know "public opinion" as well.

A.Drive is more of a comfort pedestrian tyre. If you can stretch your budget, you can go for S. Drive or C.Drive if it comes in the size that you want. I use Bridgestone RE001, which is softer than the Yokohamas, has better dry grip but does lose out a little in terms of wet straight line acceleration.

Hey mate I got same car as you, recently bought some Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin's. They were the replacement of the G3's. Pretty good grip and cool looking tread pattern. I've had no problems with performance and road noise. Got em for 129 a pop at Jax Quick fit.

I have changed mine to Toyo Teo Plus . They seem to be pretty quiet and cheap.

Thanks everyone!
bought a set of "Maxx" (Bob Jane T-mart) for ~$92 per tyre. Quiter than NCT5. looks ok, nothing fancy...
