Upgrading stock tires?

What do you guys recommend?

I want to upgrade my tires. I guess some that give me better handling. Not so much handling, but just have better grip, that don't squeal, or just better tires period. I don't know, but the situation is that i plan on getting Comptech Sways and also Comptech Springs to drop it. I just want to upgrade the tires to give a better overall upgrade.
Thanks

You could upgrade to a larger size like the 225/55/16.

Yokohama AVS ES100
Kumho ECSTA Supra
Yokohama Parada Spec-2
Sumitomo HTR+ or HTZ

What about an all season tire? Those of you who live in snow country - what tire did you buy? I don't need snow tires as most of the time, the streets are plowed.

I'm keeping the stock rims, so 225/55/16 tire size.

Does anyone have a *good* pic of the 225/55's on a stock rim? The small pics I've seen don't give me enough of a view to decide. From what I've seen, I'm not sure I like to look of the sidewall. It sort of makes the wheel look smaller, or too inset in the tire, or something. If anyone has some pics, please post 'em!
