Tyre choice

I have a 2012 Honda Civic 1.8ES VTEC fitted with Continental Primium 2 tyres. I would like to improve the driving and roadholding, if you could suggest a better type of tyre for my car.

I like the handling of this model. But if you want to bling it up you can fit 18" wheels with lower profile tyres. Something like Michelin Pilot Sports. The ride will suffer, and you won't get 48mpg any more.
