JMO, but I'd recommend the Hankook Ventus tires. I've been running them on my car for about three years and they are excellent tires and the price is right.

I bought the new style Hankook Evos. No complaints so far.

My coupe when I first got it had nearly new Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval and I thought they sucked, poor handling and loud. I got C6GS reproduction 18/19" wheels and C6 stock size Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (non-run flats), world of difference. Handle great and whisper quiet. Over $1200 for the tires tho at Discount Tire.
If I couldn't have afforded the Michelin's, I would have gone with the Hankook's or Nitto's.

The difference in sound is amazing, and the ride is much better. I got mine at Tire rack and had them delivered and mounted for 530 bucks total.

Running Nitto 555's, have about 10K miles so far.
They are quiet and good riding. I drive from Boise Id to Palm Springs Ca at least once a year, I like them enough to replace with same when time comes.
