Default need new tires

hi all, i ahve a 2001 civic and the rear tire on the driver's side is leaking air. every few weeks or so it would go from 33psi down to about 25 while the others remain the same. i rolled over a nail on that tire once a few months ago. anyways, the tire size is 185/70-14, are there any good tire recommendations? must have good traction on snow and rain and cannot be too expensive. i guess anything isb better than the OEM firestone crap.

If you're looking for good all season performance, a quiet ride and excellent tread life, look no further than Michelins MXV4.

It's probably the best blend of there for the money. Of course, snow tires are better and it won't allow you to pull 0.92g during the dry seasons, but it's an excellent tire.

They're $92 a piece, at least on the tire rack.

Honda uses them for their OEM tire on the Accord (or on mine they did).
