  1. I take it you must have the 16-inch wheel option with P195/55R16 87V sized tires? Too bad. The Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 is the best tire on your list by a long margin. Better rain and snow traction than most of the others AND it is low rolling resistance for improved fuel economy. Another Bridgestone tire to look at would be the Insignia SE200 which is like the EP422 except for sightly better foul-weather traction and it does not have the low rolling resistance feature, but is less expensive and easier to find. The Firestone Precision Touring (also marketed as the Affinity Touring depending on where you buy it from) would also be an excellent choice. A little less expensive and with a slightly longer wear warranty with very good performance reviews. Avoid the FR710. It costs about the same but is MUCH less tire for the money as it does not have the silica enhanced rubber compound. I'm not sure why they even still make that tire as it competes with the newer Precision/Affinity, isn't nearly as good and costs about the same. The Firehawk GT is a performance tire, optimized for good dry weather handling around corners. If you are not an agressive driver this is the wrong tire for you. These are also horrendously prone to uneven wear in my experience which makes them noisy as they age. The Champion HR is a cheap entry-level performance tire. Poor value for money IMHO. The Hankook is also a high performance tire the reviews on it are mixed although I have no personal experience with it. There is nothing else on your list I would consider if it were my own vehicle.
