Since I didn't reply to the first thread:

Michelin Pilot Sports in stock size. They came on the car, but they are really nice. Not as grippy as an S03. I have about 15,000 miles on them, and they are wearing evenly and slowly. Also, they have very low road noise (S03's are really noisy!)

I have also heard very good things about the Toyo Proxes, but I have no experience with them.

I've been told S03's are quiet, and that Proxes while light and a good deal $$, they are a little noisey.

So much confusion.
