Default T5 tires?

Hey folks. I am looking at tires and thought I would ask what y'all suggest. I have Michelin 205/55R16 on now. I'm looking for kinda sporty nine month tires. I have studs for the winter. I was hoping to spend less than one hundred per but am flexible if it's worth it. Anyway let me know what you suggest. Thanks!

My personal favorite is the Michelin Pilot Sport AS, best rain tire around, and that seems to be when I want the best grip.

I used Bridgestone Potenza S-03s on mine and they're outstanding. Also very affordable. I don't think they make them in the T-5 size but I see Tire Rack has RE760s for about 90 bucks each.

I'd also caution against bigger tires. These cars are really prone to rubbing. Someone had stuck P215s on the front of mine and they rubbed on turns.
