2003 Honda Civic coupe

Need new tires the firestones lasted 70,000 and are going bald. What
is recommended replacement. Drive 100 miles a day I would like tires that
last. Thanks for any input.

If you plan to keep the stock size, it may help to know what trim level of
Civic Coupe this is. The EX has a different stock size (185/65-15) than the
other levels (185/70-14).

I suggest a visit to tirerack.com.

 

Its an LX i have visited tire rack but i think they have strange
ratings on tires. My oem firestones rate terrible but i got 70,000 on them
so its hard for me to figure. The Goodyear Triple treads and Goodyear
Assurance rate the best with a Michelin Hydroedge being good as well. I
just need a tire that lasts a long time and performs decent.

 

Are you happy with the mileage you achieved with the firestone tires? If so,
buy a replacement set of those. This decision is not as complicated as you
appear to be making it. {;^)

 

I got Pirelli P3000s for replacements on my 98 civic, got 70000mi on them on
shitty canadian roads (which is something else). I only got 38000mi outta
those crappy factory firestones on the same roads.
