ANY and ALL suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.


You don't need better grip for a daily, and compound has more to do with it then width. Primacies actually aren't bad, but there are plenty of UHP summer tires that you'll be happy with in stock size. Also note the wider and stickier your set-up is your MPG will drop a little.


215 or 225 MPSS/MPS4S is more then fine
