as they were a factory option. Tire brands/models is a matter of opinion to some extent. I never put top tier priced/performance tires on my car (michelin, BF goodrich, etc.) and instead put something a step or two below (falken, sumitomo, kumho, etc.) as I drive on the street and usually not very aggressively. There are all sorts of tire reviews available at discount tire and tire racks websites. I usually pick something with a decent tread wear rating for the price (theoretically, the higher the number the longer they "should" last) as I want them to last as long as possible. You can also get an idea of what wheels would fit at those sites assuming you are not going with a factory rim. You need to get the offset and backspacing to fit of the wheels you select to match your car and I am sure someone will post the necessary details in this thread momentarily as I do not know them at the moment.
