Tyres: Time for a change

[gbg]

Mates, I have a situation here

My mom drives a Honda Civic and her tyres are worn, so I'm looking for new ones

It's a 01' Civic 1.7 Sedan, with 21 thousand kilometers (13 K miles)
Original tyres: Pirelli P600 185/65 R15 88H

Just took a few pics to show how they look now:




The options:
FIRESTONE FIREHAWK 700
PIRELLI P6000
CONTINENTAL ???
MICHELIN XH-AS
GOODYEAR EAGLE NCT-5

I will stick to the original setting, 185/65 R15

Which one is better? I need a blend of security and comfort, and I really don't care much for performance because it's an old lady car (and because it's a Honda)

Any other brand you can remember?

And only for curiosity, how much do you pay for a new tyre like these in your country? I expect to pay about US$ 100 in each here

ContinentalContiTouring is a really good tire for the price. wear rate is pretty good on them without sacrificing alot of grip.

Bridgestone or Michelin would be my other choice.

Couldn't tell you what to expect to pay for that size though as i regularly deal with 16in and above

OK here are a few tires I would buy for that size and less than $100 each.

I would always recommend Michelin.

But after a recent dilemma myself, after a week or so I am very impressed with the Kumho KH11 tyres I got for my Porsche. They are quite cheap but come in a different size. (195/60/15, which are comparable to your size.)

A tyre size calculator I use:

Tyre site that's good with reviews and choices.

Here is a link to comparisons for that tyre class.

Browse around for your choice.

Always had good experience with Yoko AVS ES100s. They cost me US$110 each for 17" so well under a hundred for 15s...

Pole Position S-03s .

I heard a lot of good stuff about the new Potenza RE950s.

www.1010tires.com is another site with a lot of reviews but prices are a bit more than TireRack. I've personally dealt with tirerack and have nothing but good things to say about them.

HTH,
