Azenis are okay (too loud and wear quickly for my tastes and everyone else if they are only daily driven) but come in a decent size (195/60/14 I think) and are about as good as it gets for a cheap 14 inch tire if you want good dry traction, decent wet and horrible snow. I like the Ziex 512s much better, but I don't think they make them in a 14 inch size that will work for Civics.

You can use 185 or a 195 width on those rims.

yeah I live in FL no snow so I dont have to worry about it.. so 195/60/14 should do the trick? will it throw off my speedometer?

I think you should run 185/65/14. that would be the stock size.

I have the Ziex's on my stock 14" wheels. I'm honestly not sure if they're the 512's or not though. Anyway, they have decent traction for a stock tire, and they did pretty well in the snow last winter (until the turbo spools )
