The '17' is the tyre model number from Kumho. My tyres are 185/65 R15H.

You wont go wrong with Uniroyal Rain Experts, they've done well on the daughters Civic for the last 25K well thrashed miles, quiet with excellent predictable grip. I swapped them to the rear to even the wear out and put the also ran ditchfinders that were on the rear (when bought) to the front for the summer. I swapped them back this weekend as the also rans spin constantly in the wet, something the Uniroyals will not do.

As MLJ, Vredesteins are good tyres, i've had their excellent winter tyres previously, we currently run Sportrac3's on SWMBO's C2VTS, replaced Michelins, better in all grips and less noise to boot. Daughter had Quatrac 2 all seasons on her previous 106, they quietly covered well over 40k hard miles swapped round to even wear out, and gripped the snow and ice like a full on winter spec.

So impressed was she that a set of Quatrac 3 all seasons sit in my garage waiting to go on her Civic in time for the coming winter.

If you're replacing anyway it might be worth looking at good all seasons, Goodyear Vector and Kleber Quadraxer are well spoken of as is the aforementioned Vred Quatrac, all of those (others too that i haven't mentioned) have the all important snowflake mark which means they have necessary cold weather tread compound.

A browse on Camskill and Mytres would be prudent whatever you're looking for.
