Just wanted to give my first impressions of my new tires, I picked up a set of dunlop dz101 in 205/50-15. I must say I am very impressed at how quiet and smooth they are. They grip pretty good as far as I can tell but I havnt had a chance to really get on it because my wife filled the tank with 89 octane.

damm dude 89 that sucks and if you can post some pics of your tires im also looking for a good set of tires

 

The Dunlop Direzza DZ101 is a very good tire if you're looking for a budget performance tire, i.e. a tire that offers good performance at a bargain price. Unfortunately, 205/50-15 is the only 15" size they offer. Other tires worth considering in the same segment include the Kumho Ecsta SPT and the Yokohama ES100, both of which come in a wider variety of sizes, including the 195/50-15 that would be more suitable for 15" wheels on a '91 Civic hatchback.

For an overview of how budget performance tires compare with tires in other segments (e.g. if you're looking for even better performance and you're willing to pay a bit more for it), click here.
