Don't know why your OEM Michelin's were so bad, but I just put a set of
Michelin HydroEdge tires on my 2000 Civic (185/65/14). HydroEdge tires are
relatively new to the market, and I only have about 1000 miles on 'em, but
so far they seem awesome. Really great handling in rain/wet snow, & living
in Canada, I was comforted to know that the HydroEdge has one of the lowest
freeze-points of any tires out there. It's cold up here!
