I've had good luck with my Yokohama Avid V4s tires so far. They are 215/50/17.

I've had them on my vehicle for almost 20,000 miles.

I think there are more posts on summer tires vs all seasons, for some reason ....

I'd start with this link, and see how the oem's compare to other options.

Ratings of OEM tires and replacements

All available load ratings (90-95) should work in this size, but you would need to run 33 psi (vs 32) for any eurometric options, which have no P in front of number. oem is pmetric P215-50-17 at 32 psi, euro option 215-50-17 at 33 psi.

ratings for other performance groups

Depending on the price range, Ive heard nothing but good things about the GY eagle response edge's, michelin exalto a/s, and yoko's avid v4's as far as road driving goes.

Personally my decision would be between the response edge's and the yoko's as michelin is ~$20 more per tire and not significantly better.
