You'll obviously get many answers but I went from Michelin Pilots to Continental DWS and I can't believe how much better the Continentals are. They're quiet, smooth and I picked up a noticeable amount of fuel economy as well.

If you have the 17" wheels (stock for the SLE), you are looking for 235/55/17

I love the Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S, though it is more of a performance all season and not that great in the snow.

TireRack and Discount Tire are two good sources. Just remember to factor in shipping and mounting/balancing on the Tire Rack prices for a fair apples-to-apples comparison.

It honestly depends on what you use your car for. Read reviews, and determine what style of tire is best for you.
