im currently deciding which tires to put on my civic. planning to put on 195/60R15 tires. Im a bit surpised why there's not much info about this tire size. this is the standard size of compact cars such as the toyota altis, mitsu lancer cedia and civic 2.0.

here are my choices:

Michelin MXV8 - quiet and comfy but expensive daw? costs 4k/tire
Bridgestone GR80 - read that they outperform the MXV8
Yokohama C.drive - no idea

my current tires are the stock goodyear NCT5s. I find them noisy and slippery. My ABS always kicks in whenever I brake suddenly.

anyone got info on the tires i mentioned? is 4k/tire for 195/60R15 too expensive?

how much are 195/60R15 tires nowadays?
i'm actually looking at the goodyear assurance cause of the durability advertised.
