i dont know about the sizing on stock wheel sorry
but comparison between those three tires
1.toyo T1s-very good tires over all , real sticky which means good tractions however it will only last about 7000-8000 miles..
2.ES100- best bang for the buck... it is little harder than T1s but grips as good as T1S. i would recommend these...
3.kumho supra ecsta 712- they are good for its price cheap and reliable
however they are bit harder than those two tires above... doest grip as good as those two either.... but for daily driving purpose should be real cool ( i have these tires and i like it and no problems)

It really depends on what you are looking for out of the tires. Like the previous post states they are all slightly different. I would also throw in the new tire from Bridgestone call the Fuzion ZRI. They are very similar the the Yoko with better wet traction and better ride and quieter.
If I can help let me know.

I say go with:

1st choice: ES100
2nd choice: Toyo T1-S

Toyo is only my second choice because its very expensive, other than that... its a nice tire.
