Bridgestone Potenza RE010 (stock tire):
Advantages - Great handling, excellent traction in wet or dry conditions, decent treadlife
Disadvantage - Purchase price
2.6-3.5 cents per mile ($132/tire, typically lasts 15-20K miles)

Falken Azenis Sport:
Advantages - Great traction on dry pavement, inexpensive purchase price
Disadvantages - Short treadlife, so-so on wet pavement, heavy, not stock size so odometer reads 1.6 percent high
2.5-3.0 cents per mile ($75/tire, typically lasts 10-12K miles)

Depending on what else you're looking for, there are other tires that may also be suitable. For example, if you're willing to give up some handling and traction for longer treadlife and/or lower purchase price, the Yokohama AVS ES100 in the stock size is a great value for the money (around $60/tire and lasts longer than the RE010).
