The Bridgestone Blizzak is a very good winter tire, however, it tends to wear rather rapidly. If you want a winter tire with superb traction on snow and ice while not wearing out rapidly, I strongly endorse the Michelin X-Ice tire. It is the quietest winter tire that I have ever experienced, it handles better than many conventional tires, and is really great in winter conditions. With a set of these tires, you will do just fine with your Civic.
