Default 255 is fine on your car. My first question would be...

...whether or not you live in the snow belt. If so, you may want to consider getting a set of dedicated wheels for winter. You can probably pick up a set of 16 or 17" wheels pretty cheap. Put some narrower winter tires on there (215 or 225) and you've got a great setup for when the snow flies. Narrower tires are better for winter so they can bite through the snow instead of riding on top of it.

Then, you can get some nice dedicated summer tires for your wider wheels. All season tires are a compromise.

If you're not inclined to take this route, I'd suggest the Khumo ECSTA ASX. Have heard good things about it and it's pretty inexpensive at www.tirerack.com.
