Our Civic Si has the summer tire option. I think it was also like $300 and worth it.

Why pay for stickier tires after you buy the car when you could just spend a little extra and have the factory fit them for you?
For the 2025 model year, Honda will gladly fit your Civic Si with a set of stickier summer tires as an optional package.
The updates aren’t just limited to tires, though, as Honda brags that the 2025 model is “the most rigid Civic Si ever” thanks to new supports in the lower B-pillar and rear door sills. In response to the more rigid body, Honda has also retuned the car’s dampers.
While power output remains the same–200 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque–the Si’s rev-matching system now includes downshifts from second to first gear. (Honda is also quick to remind us that the rev-matching system is capable of “perfectly matching revs with a lightning quick 430 ms response time.”)
18-inch wheels wrapped in W-rated 235/40R18 all-season tires are also retained for 2025, though Honda will now offer an optional package that fits the Civic Si with a set of yet-to-be-named Y-rated 235/40R18 summer tires–all for just $300 over MSRP.
Aside from a fresh face, revised taillights and redesigned wheels, other notable changes for 2025 include a full-digital instrument display–with a new shift indicator light–and standard heated seats.
MSRP for the 2025 Civic Si starts at $29,950, an increase of $850 over the 2024 model’s starting MSRP of $29,100. Pick the optional summer tires, and the MSRP slides up to $30,250–an increase of $1150 over the 2024 Si.
Fuel economy, however, is unchanged from 2024 according to Honda, with the Si still capable of returning 27 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg combined.
We’re also happy to report that the 2025 Civic Si can be purchased with any transmission you’d like, as long as you pick a six-speed manual.

PS: Don’t let my wife see this. :)
The summer tire package is a no-brainer, right?
$300 sounds like a heck of a deal.
I still like this car......
Summer tires were optional for 2022 and 2023. I think that they were dropped for 2024. This isn't really big news.
What's crazy is that just 4 years ago you could get a Civic Si with all of these options and the same engine/trans combo for 20% cheaper. I love Honda's but removing standard options then adding them back a few years later and acting like it's a bonus is the most cringe E36 M3 automakers do.
My buddy has one of these, he's averaging 40mpg in real world use, which is stunningly impressive for a hot hatch/sedan segment car that handles well and is fun to drive. His only complaint was we didn't get the (standard for Canada) heated seats, and it sounds like they're rectifying that.
Still needs more power and a dual-clutch transmission. But Honda is slowly getting there...
In reply to El1ss O'Ramac :
I agree with neither of those things, but live your dream. I'd take the same power, no auto rev matching, no sunroof, a $2000 discount for those deletions, and 1000rpm higher redline if I could impose my will on reality.
Well, accounting for inflation, the car is basically the same cost with all of the "upgrades"...but am I the only one who doesn't care about heated seats? I don't really think cloth cars need them, even in the cold winters. I had heated seats retrofitted into my wife's RAV4 who insisted she needs them but she never uses it. Anyways, can't say I car about the full digital cluster gauge but it is what it is. I don't need to stare at more screens during the day but here we are.
