Z-Rated 15's?
ok well i would like to keep my stock wheels and i wanted to know if there were any Z-rated 15's?
I went to Tire Kingdom and they said they had 205/55/15 that were Z-rated but i didnt know if they would fit on the civic. Anyone know?

the new azenis are W rated, which means they're a higher rating than Z, actually.
Z-Rated = 149 MPH or Above (the "above" was never identified when "Z" rating first came out)
W-Rated = up to 169 MPH
Y-Rated = up 180 MPH
also, the speed rating does not only signify the highest speed at which a tire is recommended, but it also will affect the ride comfort level. unnecessarily higher speed tires will greatly affect how your car feels over bumps and rough roads.

Sidewall construction has to be strengthened for sustained high speeds. A higher speed rating will result in a short, stiff sidewall that is very uncompromising.
