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
