Just my experiences-the Prelude has been on the stock RE-92s-grip is good in the dry. The RE-730s it is now on are fine for both daily driving and HPDE track days. Great grip wet (Watkins Glen) and dry (The Glen and Pocono). They travel very nicely for long drives. I had a set of Pirelli P-8000 (NTB/Sears) and they were fine for daily and trips, but not as good as the RE-730s.
My Civic (SOLD) has Dunlop SP5000 now and the grip wet, dry or snow is terrific. This tire is available in a ZR rating and for the car they are on a much better choice than the Euro TA or GT-Qualifiers that I previously had on the car.
The CRX will be shod with one of several possible choices-but it is a race setup so that does not fit the mix.

I think it is important to consider the specific car, wheel size and most important where you are and your driving style. If you have a car that is PLUS sized be careful with your selections. My Prelude's wheels are Motegi MR12 in a 16 (stock diameter) and the car corners like on rails. The Civic is on 15" AR Spyders which is a PLUS size-but the tires are properly matched to a car that is lowered and stiffer than stock.

Good luck
