Default Good option for stock AP1 wheels

So i am about to pick up my completely stock AP1 with about 28k miles on it this weekend but the is one slight issue. It needs new tires and with a quick search on tire rack using the suggested size with the "corrected" rear width and all that shows up is the Fusion ZRi and a DOT tire from BFG. so what do most people put on the AP1 wheels? do you just go with the 225 rear tires for which there are several options?

I will probably go with Dunlop Direzza sport Z1 star spec but it doesn't have a listed tread width on tire rack. Anyone have experience with this tire?

How do the Star spec hold up on daily driving and in wet weather? Maybe a little aggressive driving? how do they last? how is the grip? What size would you suggest for the rear?

So you run 225 on the stock 6.5 inch wheels? 225/50/16? How do they handle?

I would say that the Star Specs on all four corners would be an excellent choice. I would still stagger them though. They do have a 20.00 mail in rebate on the set of four tires.
If I can help let me know.
