Stock, I was running 16" ContiSports, but then I got 17" wheels with Pirelli P7000 SuperSports, the all seasons. The tires are defintely more grippy than the Conti's and control is fantastic, but ride has become slightly harsher and noise is noticeably louder than the super quiet Conti's. This surprised me because I was running the same tire width, 225. Highway noise isn't too bad, but low speed noise, especially the last few feet while braking, is quite loud, and I do feel the tires. I've learned to live with the noise, but do plan on getting Bridgestone RE730's since I don't need an all season tire. It's just a matter of Tirerack getting them in stock!

225/50/16 for the Conti's, 225/45/17 for the Pirelli's.
