most of us move to Toyo from the rock hard PZero, the Toyo have more grip in the damp and are quiter and eh about £50 less than PZero, do wear more but I don't drive hard on corners/bends so am getting decent wear rate on them.

Yeah I've tried toyo proxy, they actually come with 1.5mm more tread than most tyres apparently because of their wear rate. I found them a little to soft and handling was affected slightly, I do a lot of driving on twisty wales roads and don't know if its just my car but its noticeable what tyres are on. The potenza are wat it was tested and I assume set up on,and lasts longest of tyres I've had. I do wish they were cheaper though lol

Like the car fella and welcome to the site. If I owned your Civic, the wheels would have to go asap, Im not a fan.
I thought that too when I first got it, much preffered the ep3 wheels and thought they took a bit of step backwards in styling. But then they do grow on you and seeing other civics with aftermarket wheels look crap, even the optional 19" rage wheels look silly from Honda. It's a hard car to match wheels too.

zv5 the new ones ie upgrades to the (zz3s) which have a slightly harder outer wall ,fantastic tyre imo and alot of the rs guys use them and the odd person have also used them on track and said they was up to the job but of course nothing like semi slicks etc

ZZ3s? That's what a lot of us use on the ST- i've done about 12,000 on mine so far and they are still going strong- and I don't exactly drive like a granny either
Welcome btw mate, was looking into the Civic myself, what's the boot like? (boring question I know) but playing drums requires a big boot
I have a tendency to put small children in my boot so if you could answer this question youd really be helping. Saying that, the Fez ST boot is pretty big for a hatchback.
