: The hot set up for these cars is a 205 55 16 on a 16"x7.5" wheel. The Michelin Pilot at nearly $200 each is a fantastic tire. The Nitto 450 extreme at half that price is a pretty fair tire.
: Going to 16" tires greatly improves the handling on these cars with little or no noise and ride compromise.
I ran 205 55 16 for about 2 years. I finaly decided to take a chance and put 225 45 16 Dunlop W-10's the ride quality didn't change much from the 205's but the handling is incredible and through Tire Rack they were only about $110 but if you do change to a lower profile than stock it will be a stiffer ride but depending on how much you like to drive I think it's worth it.
