I work at Discount Tire. It sucks.(to have to work there...) Otherwise its a great company.

I'm rocking the bridgestone ecopia EP422+es as suggested above. I made the change the same time as a wheel change, resulting in a 12 lb per assembly drop in weight, and switched from a 215/50/17 down to 205/60/16. Even with the width decrease and switch to a more dedicated LRR tire, it appears to have maintained hard corner traction. Straight line traction is slightly reduced. I don't recall how traction is in the rain, but haven't had any hairy situations with them yet. They are not noisy, except when cornering. The higher profile sidewall definitely contributes to corner noise.
