depends on what you want to do with your car, if your car is strictly a commute car... I suggest BF Goodrich Traction TA, of course there are better but this tire is not too expensive.

my favorite tire (all around) I have experiences is the Toyo Proxes 4 tire. Its an all season, so you can drive it in rain and very mild snow. But with an ultra high performance rating it really grips well. Those would work great on some aftermarket wheels. They are a little costly, and only last maybe 15,000-20,000 miles even with rotating, but they are a blast to drive and are great value for the price (~100 each)
