Time for new summer tires on wife’s '99 Civic. Tire size is 185/65R14. We’ve got winter tires on separate rims, so I’m not looking for all-season tires, unless there happens to be a set that’s got better traction than summer-only tires.

Looking for something with great dry/wet traction. Quiet/smooth is secondary concern, durability is tertiary concern.

Any recommendations? TireRack only offers the Sumitomo HTR 200.
