MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport. I put these on my OEM 19" wheels and stock size as well. Great tire.

If you really want full performance with the stock tire sizes, go with re11 or re71r. Those are excellent in handling and very grippy. Most members upgrade their tires to 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears. It's really up to you. I did somewhat tried the upgraded tire sizes and wasn't too happy so I kept it as close as I can to stock. I went 245/35/19 fronts and 265/35/19 rears on PSS. Attach is how they look like on stock suspensions and wheels
