      Yokohama Avid H4s are cheap and alright. There are also falkens and kumhos. I ran the avid h4s and they gripped nice. Very soft tire.

              BFGs are good if you have the money and if they make an application for the tire. As for DD on them they wont last long I tell you that but they will grip like a mofo.

                I run those at the track, and usually drive to the track and back on them but not for daily driving.

                I've pulled alot of 2.0 60ft times (open differential) with them and like them alot. I'd recomend the 205/50's if you get them, or if you think you need it can go with some 225/55's, they are a close fit but I never had them rub.

                      The 205 will fit if the rim is 5.5" wide, it can be squeezed onto a smaller wheel but you will baloon out the tire and loose some of the benefits.

                      The 225 needs atleast a 6.5" wide rim, like the prelude wheels or aftermarket stuff.

                          My friend had these tires on his 92 civic hatch si. we took it to the track and he let me drive it once. i fell in love with these tires. im actually saving up for them this summer. he has them on there for daily driving too. not so good in the rain but u could have some fun in the sun, or just drive pavement,lol. i really like these tires and recommend them to people who have the money.
