I love my Kumho Ecsta 712s
under $100 each from Tirerack
just remember if you go with anything other than OEM S-02s, use 245/45's in the back

I've found OEM rubber to work very well down here in S. Florida. Just make sure that you replace them often enough to have good tread, especially in the rear. Of course they were complete crap up in Savannah when the temperature dropped down to 17!

OEM SO2s that are labelled 225 are actually as wide as most 245 width tires. So, if you go with a non-OEM replacement, use the tire size 245/45/16 on stock rear rims matched with 205/55/16 up front.
