I have 18" oem wheels and I'm running Falken FK452. Pretty good grip and wear for the price.

In either case the hankooks... better overall performance, longer tread life, and half the price too.

Only recently got my car, but I start checking out potential tires even before I buy it.. Right now I am eyeballing the Hankooks for when the time comes. Maybe in a year or so they will have more choices on TireRack.

On my previous car, I went with Khumo Ecsta ASX (all season) and never looked back, wish I could get them for this car but they don't appear to make them in this size (18" OEM as well). Great value. The research I've done on the Hankooks seems like the experience there might be similar.
