My experience with tires:
Hankook Ventus V rated:
Suprisingly good for the money, long on wear too. Decent in wet.
Falken Ziex 502 H rated:
Poor dry grip, AWFUL wet grip. Looks good, but aren't at all.
Toyo FZ4 Z rated:
I hate these tires, they are **** poor! Still better than the Falkens.
Mediocre at everything, not good at anything.
(Current)A520 V rated:
I LOVE THESE TIRES! Unbeatable dry grip, but totally uncompromising ride. OK in rain, and they wear a little fast for some.
Bridgestone RE 910 T rated: Comfortable, but that's it. Good wear, but if you're after performance, get something else. They came with the rims I bought, and I wish they didn't. Squimish under turn in.
(Current)Dunlop FM-901 Z rated:
Awesome for the price! They stick like the A520 once you're in the turn, but they don't like turn in as much. Really good in the rain if you have a camber kit. I like them for what they are, and ride quality is way better than the A520.
(Current)BFG R1 Z rated:
AutoX tire I wish they still made. These tires allowed my 93 DX (close to stock power) to finish 2nd overall in the SERIES(AutoX). Awesome handling, poor wear and they heat up VERY fast. If you autoX, try these out!

I run azenis but would recommend Pirelli p zeros or s-03s if you have the cash.
I drive on BFG g-force Drag radials. They hook great

bridgestone potenza re-730's, nothing but traction. just for fun, one time I tried launching about 5,500 in the rain, hooked up and left. They are a long wearing tire also. I couldn't believe the difference over the nt450's. I am running a 225 on a bolt-on lude, but come on, launch at 6 and they just git 'n go. At the track, I ran 2.2 60's consistently in 15.0-15.2 runs. I ran my friends civic si (bolt-ons) with my bfg g-force drags 205/50/15 and they were in 2.2s (about 18-20 psi) all day running anywhere from 15.4-15.7. shitty times, i know. thing is SLOW. I really like the re-730's, but I heard they are discontinuing them, they are awesome wet and dry handling. That's my $.02, and after I sell my wheels and go to 15's or 16's, I'll try the azenis'. If I don't like them, and the re-730's are still around, I'll go back to those.

got nitto 450's. they hook good in dry, but can't stand them in the rain. don't have a straight traction problem since my wagon is awd, but they won't hold crap on a wet curve. bridgestone or toyo will be the next tire I run.

Bridgestone S03's. Best $ per quality in my book. Just make sure your camber and Toe are ok, cause my F'd Up geometry wore my front tires out in 1200 miles.

Just got the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (isn't that a mouthful!) mounted yesterday. Went up in the hills for a casual run and so far they're OK. The ride is quiet, and smooth--totally opposite of the A520s that I last used. I haven't tried driving hard yet as I'm still breaking in the tire, but it's changed a rough-riding Civic into a semi-civilized state. I'm hoping the comfort level is due to not a soft sidewall, but instead tall and soft 10/32" tread. They also aren't darty like the A520s were, so I felt my car was pretty stable at high speeds.

I would have to say the Falken Azenis cause of how sticky they are! They were a big difference from the Kumhos
I had Nittos on my last car and this time I went for the Azenis. I love them!! They are totally sticky and grip the road. I always have to laugh when I first start driving somewhere because I can hear all the leaves and pebbles and stuff falling off of them as I drive on city streets.I would have to say the Falken Azenis cause of how sticky they are!

I haven't had them on to drag yet...we'll see how it goes.
Yea it blew my mind with the Azenis when I heard all the rocks falling off the tires after I had them mounted.
