Nowadays, performance street tires don't have white letters and they don't come in 13" sizes. Even 14" performance tires are getting to be uncommon.

You really don't want to use track tires on the street, for a lot of reasons. They wear out quickly, often in 5K miles or less. They suck in rain. They don't grip well until you've warmed them up with a lot of cornering. And even then, they don't give a lot of warning before losing traction.

For 14" wheels, there are a couple of good choices for your '90-91 Civic (without white letters, though). If you want the best dry traction and you don't care about rapid treadwear (10-12K miles) or so-so traction in rain, get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 195/60-14. If you want decent treadlife (25-40K) and excellent traction in rain as well as decent traction on dry pavement, get the Yokohama ES100 in 185/60-14 (again, without white letters). Nothing really good out there for 13" wheels though.
