I've run Goodyear Assurance Triple Treds (three sets) on my last Civic Hybrid and was generally happy with them, but they did tend to have some road noise issues.

Anybody have any experience with the Michelin Hydro Edge? The 90k warranty is hard to beat...

 

I had a set of Hydroedges on my roomie's Gen 2 CR-V and I had the Tripletreds on my Element (both of which where all wheel drive). The Hydroedges kicked ass in the rain and were a bit quieter than the Tripletreds, but the the Tripletreds were equally as good in the rain but better in the snow

 

90k warranty??! you sure it's a rubber tire?

 

Michelin > *

If money is no issue I'd always buy Michelins.

 

Another tire worth mentioning is the Goodyear Eagle GT. Amazing grip in the dry, phenomenal grip in the wet. I can't say anything about Michelin; the only one in my family to run those is my Mom on her Accord, but the car is so new I don't have anything good or bad to say.
