Help in a unique situation for tire choices.

I'll just throw in my experience. I bought my '09 with 13.5k miles on it, changed the stock RE50's at 15k with Bridgestone PPP S-04's. I thought the RE50 were loud, rough, and scary as hell in even a little puddle. I now have 28.5k on the car, so 13.5K on the S-04's and they are pretty near to what they were new: fairly quiet, smooth, good in water, and great grip. They may have gotten just a bit louder is the only thing I've noticed. The fronts have probably used 50% or their life, and the rears are through maybe 66%. I won't have to change them until summer of 2014 I'm thinking. Anyway I'm very satisfied with S-04. The other thing I liked about them is I could get 255/40/19 and 285/35/19, which are almost identical diameter of the stock tires.
