What brand are the tires on the 10th-generation Civic?

With a brand-new turbocharged direct injection engine delivering 130kW of powerful performance and an ultra-low fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km, the 10th-generation Civic makes a grand entrance as the ultimate dynamic driving machine. Depending on the trim level, the 10th-generation Civic is equipped with Yokohama tires in R16/R17 sizes. Below is more information about the tires: 1. For safe vehicle operation, tires must be of the appropriate type and size, with clear and well-maintained tread patterns, and correctly inflated. 2. Tire lifespan depends on various factors, including driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, inflation pressure, maintenance records, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use). 3. In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is recommended to have tires inspected once they have been in use for five years. After 10 years of manufacture, regardless of the tire's condition or wear level, all tires, including the spare, should be removed and no longer used. 4. The wear indicator grooves are 1.6mm shallower than the rest of the tire tread. If the tread wears down to expose these indicators, the tire should be replaced. On wet or slippery roads, severely worn tires exhibit significantly reduced traction.
My own 10th-gen Civic came factory-equipped with Yokohama ADVAN dB decibel tires in 215/55 R16 specification. These tires focus on quietness and wet road grip, and indeed produce minimal road noise during daily driving, though the stiffer sidewalls can feel a bit bumpy over speed bumps. Actually, different production batches may come with different brands - my friend's Civic has Dunlop ENASAVE EC300+ tires instead. When replacing tires, be careful not to arbitrarily change specifications, as incorrect sizing can affect ESP intervention timing. For urban commuting, quiet tires are recommended, while those driving mostly on mountain roads might consider models with stronger grip.
