The W-Rated S02's are the best all around tire for the stock wheels. These are the tires supplied from the factory when you receive the car. 205/55/16f and 225/50/16r

If you seldom see rain, stepping up to a R-Compound tire would be beneficial from a performance standpoint, but the life of the tire will diminish greatly with the stickier compounds. Personally, I use the Toyo RA1 205/55/16f and 245/45/16r. Alternately 225/50/16f and 265/45/16r is viable with the addition of a stiffer front sway bar. Both of the Toyo rear tire sets are different rolling diameters from stock. Though the size difference is minimal, if you are really **** pick up a "Black Box" to fix the speedometer/odometer reading for about $100.

The stock rolling diameter is 24.8" and the front to rear section width bias should be about ~25% to retain stock handling characteristics.

Very true. The S03 is a superior rain tire and also provides better tread life. For dry weather performance though, the non-conforming W-Rated tire that was supplied OEM is pretty hard to beat.
