Hi greasykitchen,
The original tyres fitted that I recall seeing were Kumho (cannot recall tread pattern) and Continental Sport Contact 2's. There may well have been others.
I'm currently running Yokohama 'C' Drive 2 in the same size you are asking about. This pattern updated the original 'C' Drive sometime in the last 2 years.
I find them very quiet and very good. But they tend to be a bit pricey Got mine in April this year $200 per corner fitted.
The previous set were the aforementioned original 'C' drive pattern and I got 56,000k from them.
Hunt around and you'll probably find like I did that there isn't many brands around below $200. Oh and that's for a tyre with the minimum load and speed rating. The original tyres were probably 91V. Anything lower than this rating may cause an issue with an insurance company if you have an unfortunate need to make a claim due to an accident.
I have found that tyres below $200 seem to have load rating lower than 91 and speed ratings lower than V.
Cheers,
Neil.
