what tires are on yours?
I got my '09 S a couple months ago. It had Turanzas on it. I think those are the OEMs.
One of the tires need to be replaced so now I'm going over my options. The cheapest option is to stick with Turanzas and replace two of them and put them in the front.
I'm curious as to what most of you all settled on as being the best tires. If there's an option with noticeably superior performance I might opt to just replace all 4 with them.

My Mom changed to the size listed above at her first tire change and has never gone back. The car handles and drives better with the wider tire. Maybe a slight decrease in fuel mileage, but not enough for her to notice.
As for tire brand, she's had a few, but I can tell you that almost everyone that has had the Continental DWS have been very happy. They are a substantial upgrade over the factory Bridgestone's.

That seems counterintuitive. Isn't better to have the better traction tires up front?

In the event of traction loss it's easier to control a car that plows straight rather than spins. Meaning of the front slides it's a straight slide. If the rear has the bald tires when they let go it can spin

Best thing about 4 new tires is you can then rotate them often to get max life.

I've got a set Cooper "Ultra Touring" tires. They're not the best...but they're the best I could do at the time.They slide predictably. I put that in a Discount Tire review and they apparently didn't like it 🤷🏽♂️ Might go Michelin or Toyo next time around.

I've gone through a lot of Pro3's haha
Back on topic: I can not recommend 195/55-15 on stock 5.5" wheels. It's the absolute worst.
I can't wait for my new wheels.

My My Falken Sincera SN250, 185/55-16 now have about 46K on them and have 4/32 to 5/32 tread left. So they will make 50K and still be over the 2/32 limit where they're considered worn out. But most would say they should be replaced at 4/32, meaning I'm about due.

Right now, Blizzaks. I got them on sale at Costco, otherwise I might have gotten something else. Good enough though. I'm a little disappointed they don't come with a mileage warranty, but it wasn't a problem with the last set.

also, 205 club represent! Ive gone back and forth in widths over the years (had my '10 since 2012) and 205 is the nuts. I would go even wider, but i think that would require messing with wheel offset to some extent.
