We're taking delivery of the car soon and I'd rather not use up the
original tires before enjoying the benefits of available alternative
tires.
While we are getting the short throw shift option for sportier
driving, I don't want to match that with the most expensive sports
tires, as the care will be driven in a very responsible manner --
most of the time.
It's the wife's car, and I'm actually considering two sets of tires
(winter / summer) because we do get some significant snows here, and
if I go that route, one set of tires need not accomplish everything.
I'll still need "fallback" recommendations for a single set if things
get too spendy, however.
The car will be driven 99.99% on paved roads, and 90+% of that will
be urban driving where the roads are often in fair to poor condition.
I'd like the car to handle as well as the original issue tires, with
the replacement tires providing a better quality ride and / or less
road noise for highway trips.
I'm considering studded snows because they've worked great for me on
the van and I've seen them mentioned here as well.
Kumho is often mentioned as a good replacement tire here.
