Bought these budget tires after my Achilles tires expired. Better than I expected since I had pretty low expectations. Tires are comfortable but does not provide great feedback. Acceleration and braking both improved compared to the tires I previously had. It cannot compete with top-tier brands, but budget-wise, tires are pretty decent, as I've bought almost four tires for the price of one Bridgestone.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Honda Civic FD1 1.8 i Vtec drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Overall, Michelins do not disappoint. Have them installed on my 2009 Honda Civic 1,600CC in the above stated size. Dry grip and braking is decent, wouldn’t say they’re extremely good. However, have tried emergency braking in the wet and it disappoints. Wet grip is decent. As an overall touring tyre, this is not a set of tyres for you to fit on and go on spirited driving. Road noise is kept well at bay, tyre compound is soft. Would probably want to try Yokohama/Kumho/Hankook as my next tyre.
Aggressive thread pattern, very grip on dry roads and feels very confident when taking corners even in the 3rd year of usage. The downside is, as the time comes, when it’s raining, it becomes super slippery, and you can notice the aquaplaning when you drive around 80 KM/H, overall, very dangerous. I took it for spirited drives in a lot of places, Ulu Yam, Genting, Karak, Gerik-Baling, and it performs well with my suspension setup. The reason I would not buy them again is that I wanted to try the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 and Toyo TR1 on my next set. But overall, really good experience with the RE003.
Too noisy like wheel bearings gone bad. Poor steering response at corners.
Well i have driven these tires for more than 10k kms, they are quiet and comfy , bad road feedback and lousy handling is evident, tires tend to skid badly when road is not that grimy, the aquaplaning is bad too. over priced tire which i regret buying now will switch to continental premium contact 6. (Just after driving 10k kms)
Primacy 3 is a good option for more driving comfort. Not as sporty as Michelin pilot sport 3 that I used before primacy 3 nor as grippy especially cornering at high speed is not good enough to enjoy an ultimate ride but for daily drive particularly in cities, one can go for them.
had them for almost 20000km now, those tire are still like new. They are very quiet and respond very well when stopping
Excellent tires in all aspects. I have tested them in all kind of weather except in heavy rain and all kind of roads. Braking is excellent, no emotions whatsoever. Very quiet. What I do not like: the rim protection is far from perfect.
Have been using this tyre for 1 year already. Really comfort and good. But after 10000km, it starting to make noise. For wet condition. Firstly it really impressive how this tyre grip. But, after 15000km usage I think people start to recognize that you will be playing with life. I would like to give 3.5/5 for this tyre. Now, I'm using Bridgestone Potenza Adrenaline RE003. And looking foward for the result and the feedback from it. ☺
A major upgrade over the factory standard Bridgestone Turanza ER30, however this is a different beast. Its definitely a more sporty tire with very good corner handling and providing more precise steering, but at the expense of ride comfort (more firm) and a relatively high tire wear (for a road tire); done about 8000 miles until now, about 8000 miles more left before replacement is needed. Behavior in wet weather is under average and tires are succeptible to hydro-planning. Regardless of all that, planning to buy the same ones for the next set of tires.
