Well 1st things 1st. What are you going to use them for? Daily driving? Snow? Racing? I'd say http://www.tirerack.com to answer most of your questions.

You live in Chicago like me...if you don't have a separate set of winter wheels, then consider the BFGoodrich Traction T/A H....good performance, all-season tire that comes in the size you describe. Can't really comment on em personally, but I've heard great things. These will be my next set of tires on stock Civic steelies....same size as yours.

I agree. If these are just daily tires and you live in a snow belt area you need something to get you through snow. I purchased Nokian Hakkapellita 2s last year and we got that blizzard. Never had a problem.

If you cannot get dedicated snow tires my wife had Dunlop SP5000s and they got us through snow, slush and ice and were pretty good dry tires too.
