Ebay, check out Nexen N3000s. Quite a few of us have them with no complaints.

Id check out the Fuzion Zri also. I think they were around $80 a tire on some online places.

yup Fuzion is a nice brand for cheaper tires that stand up to a beating...I have the HRIs they are still kicken even though they go through a lot of abuse from the roads and weather here. ZR-Is are cheap and a good choice if you don't wanna buy super expensive brands.

I wouldnt get Hri's again after having a quiet tire. They are pretty noisy above 65 but they are a good cheapish tire.

Yea the Hri's that I had when I got my Falkens had about 40k on them and they would of easily gone another 25-30k miles. They were pretty noisy but I had just chalked it up to wind noise of the GA. Got the Falkens tires that book about 100 more per set and were quiet as all get out. It was a HUGE difference.

Regardless Hri's and Zri's are a damn good bargain tire.

well right now something is disconnected on my car and it sounds like I've got a turbo in it so civics lately haven't been asking to race :lol: (yes I have looked around for a possible turbo but unless its buried in the block it is non-existant).:roll2:

a turbo sound or a supercharger sound? a supercharger sound means your power steering rack is probably going bad

It would be the rack if it made the noise while turning, if it's constant it could be the PS pump or even the AC.
