parelli pzero rosso. If you have anymore questions regarding tires, go to tirerack.com and plug in your cars info.
When i replaced my tires i went with yokohamas advin w4s. There highperformance all season tires. I love these tires, there quite, long lasting tread, not the greatest in the snow but get me home everytime, and have good grip in dry and wet conditions. I don't think they sell them in 215/45/18. The tire size that i bought was 225/45/18. (NO RUBBING) and i bought them for $140 a tire from tirerack. Hope this helps you.

I *HATED* the ZIEX's. With agressive cornering and driving I wore those tires out in about 6,000miles. I'm not even talking track or anything, I'm just talking your usual wheelspin pulling out from a stop, and spirited driving on my 2.6 mile drive to work. Go with something else IMHO. I'm running Kumho Ecsta ASX's right now. They seem to be wearing a bit better, but still not great.

Nothing wrong with the Coopers ZPT (not a great tire for snow though) I have both Cooper Zeon Sport A/S and Cooper Zeon 2XS. 2XS for summer and the Sport A/S is winter. Great deals on these at Treadepot.com (106-116/tire)

My car came used with Hankook Ventus V12 EVO's.
They're great in hot & dry weather, and OK in rain. They are summer tires, so they're not even designed to be used in cold weather, but I was broke last winter and had to drive on them. I feared for my life the few times I had to drive them in the snow, but they got me to work thanks to skill and luck.
It is a pain in the ass to find people who sell them, but they do come with a road hazard warranty for the first 25% of the tread life so if you get a flat or a sidewall bubble they will be replaced in-warranty.
