I've been really happy with the Toyo T1-R 245/45 R16 tyres that i put on my rears. They were a bit skittish till they bedded in at first, and were much improved with 36psi.

Now they feel great in the dry and wet

Find out what are already on the front of the car and match the make but in the correct size.

Or go for Bridgestone or Toyo's

I run the Toyos T1-R's

Toyo T-1R here too.
Needs a higher pressure, but a good tyre.

If you read the Tech FAQ you'd have an instant answer without requiring fast responses
