Looking for a good tire for a 2001 Civic sedan for highway commuting
in rural Alberta. I'd say 90% of my driving is along major highway
arteries, 5% city, 5% gravel. The stock Firestones and replacement BFG
T/A M80's didn't fare well in longevity. BFG's were worn down badly
after just 43,000 km (surprising for a 130,000 km tire).. Looking for
an excellent tire wet or dry with good longevity. Toyo Ultra's, Toyo
Spectrum's, Yoko Avid, Bridgestone Turanza have been tossed out by
locals. Local Kal Tire is pushing a Kal/Michelin Agility as well as
some house brand premium TBC Grand Tour. Kal is also offering their
house brand Superlite rims's as very good; this combined with a hub
insert to assure proper fit. While I'm at it, not at all familiar with
the pro/con, but how would moving from a 14 in (stock) to 15 in rim
be? Lot's of questions . . . few answers at this end. Thanks for any
and all.
