I am in a similar boat, well actually it's a Versa, and am in need of two new tires. I am also currently considering going up in wheel as well as rim diameter to bring my revs down a bit on the highway.
I don't have a lot of time on them but the car has relatively new Michelin Defenders on the front of the car and they are a nice quiet tire with decent grip and are supposed to wear very well.
I have worn out coopers on the back, not sure what model.
If I stick with the same size I think I will put another couple Michelin Defenders on the back so they are all the same and am considering some Michelin Energy™ Saver A/S tires if I go up in size.
Car tires are pretty new to me so take that all with a grain of salt. I am getting used to the idea of considering sizes that aren't preceded with "LT"
