Lots of good advice here, and definitely helps me out!

I know you never know who you are talking to on the internet... I'm 43 and have bought more tires in my life than I like to think of ($$$!). I've changed sizes, gone from summer to all season and back again, gotten all terrain and "low rolling resistance". I know about the compromises between contact patch and bigger sidewall, larger diameter etc. I asked here because I know you guys have had experience with these cars specifically and would know what works... you didn't disappoint.

I was leaning toward getting different wheels, but based on what you guys have said I can get a nice 225 summer tire and get what I need with the factory wheels. Yes, I don't track the car but that is not what is going through your mind when you attack a curve on a mountain road... you just want confidence. You can't drive it to the edge and slide through it.
