On our 1995 Civic Del Sol (with AT), wife surprised me with the delivery
of 4 Kum Ho tires (delivered by UPS, not her...). Those tires were the
best thing we could have done, as our Civic Del Sol cornered like it was
on rails!
The 2004 CR-V (5speed MT) just got Michelins at Costco, and, again,
seems like the best thing...
Maybe we are just happy with new tires?!
Love that new rubber smell, and, those new valve stems...

I can't help you with the CRV.
I like Dunlop SP Sport A2 tires for the Civic. If it snows much where
you live, you'll need Blizzaks in the winter if you buy the Dunlops.

For the first time I tried some Yokohama's, AS430's from NTB. My brother
put them on his Vibe also about the same time. They are much quieter than
my old Michelin's, and ride smoother. Highly recommended.

Previous November issues have other classes of tires. You may be able to
find them in the library. However, the older issues may not be too useful
since tire models tested then may have been replaced by newer models.

What about traction, cornering, temperature and speed rating?
