The tires in the pics are stock 17" Turbo II wheels with 205/50/17 front and 255/40/17 rear Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires.

As I mentioned, they have since been replaced with slightly wider fronts (225/45/17) and stock rear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) tire's (typo said Pirelli PS2 in my original post - sorry!).

The PZero Rosso's (PZR's) were fine but the Michelin PS2's have much more grip (dry or wet) and ride quieter.

I am perfectly happy with the steering and how they ride. The steering is firm and quick to turn in and the ride is a good medium between being too soft and too harsh. My car is a daily driver so I need something that I can live with everyday.

Your S-model has a firmer suspension to start and then with the lower profile 18" tires, the ride can seem a little harsh to some people.
