I'd stick with stocks on the front. I'm sure you could ask everybody and get a different opinion. Tire choices are just that way. But for me, the car was built around that specific tire size and will function best when that size is used. As for brands, I was pretty loyal to the Goodyears until my first set of Michelins. I'll never go back. They're pricier, but the performance is night and day. Again, this is all just my opinion.
