Just went from standard 16" MXV4s up to 215/50r17 Sumitomo HTR+ on my '05 Accord EX 4cyl, manual.
Tires seem sticky enough for here in Charlotte, and are great in city driving. Had them up on the Blue Ridge, and felt pretty stable.
Went to these because my wife's V70 had them whem we bought the car(used), and she loves them.
Bought local, but also try Tire Rack.
