I read a lot of blabla here. There is not such thing as a good or bad tyre. Some brands tend to be better then others. Not to mention they all have a wide range of models, too. And then there's things like weather conditions, front or rear wheel drive, type of car, driving style,...
Yes, Michelins are generally very good. And they are standard on the Civic.
I did not like the Dunlops on my coupé. They wre good on dry, but very bad on wet. (And this is Belgium.) And they lasted half as long as the Bridgestones I had before. Now I have Bridgestones again. Pretty good on dry, and very good on wet. I lost it on a roundabout a few day ago, but I just had to lift my right foot a bit to get grip again and correct it. Impressive! And they are not even sport tyres.
In the past I had also good experiences with Yokohama's (however a bit soft), Goodyears (F1) and Firestones. I never liked Conti's, though. But again, I think it's got a lot to do with personal taste.
To ADS: don't consider yourself a tyre-expert when you don't know that the manufacturer's tyre of choice for the civic is Michelin, not Bridgestone, and certainly not run-flats. This is a civic-forum...
And don't come telling us that Pirelli's are the best on an Imprezza 'cause the WRC team uses them. The tyres they use won't be available in any shop. They are high tech stuff and customised for all kinds of road conditions and parameters. Besides that there's also non-technical (like commercial) aspects in motorsports when it comes to tyre-choice.
