What size are the wheels? what's the width? what's the offset? what kind of driving do you do?
225/40/18's. 235's may be a little wide for the wheels but they're fit/ With the offset you shouldn't have a rubbing issue but I could be wrong. I don't know a whole lot about the progess springs.
As far as tires it's really up to you. Yokohama, Toyo, Nitto, ect are all really good tires. Stay away from Dunlop though they're junk.

I have stock rims.. but I have some Kumho Esta 711 and they're great.. Much better than stock... and they are sticky... For the money.. I paid like 50 a tire becuase tirerack was having a sale on them... you can't complain..
I haven't worn em out yet, still very new...but i've heard only great things:

Tire life depends on your driving and the treadwear on the tire. There is a # on every set of tires that says "treadwear" right before it. The higher the # the longer the tire will last (in theory) The stock Bridgestone's that come on most tC's have a treadwear of 160 which is really low. Hence the reason they wear quicker.
i have a set of goodyear eagle f1 GS-D3 on and they are awesome and traction in the rain is superb i love them... 4 months old and they still look brand new... i used to havea set of nitto 450s and those are good too but i think i like the goodyears better... i love the tread pattern
The best tires I've ever had are Yokohama's and I'm on my second set of them now. Another guy here in the parts room swears by Nitto's. For the money Kumho is not a bad tire either. Toyo is another really good tire. I know A LOT of people who have had them with no issues. Don't know anyone with Falkens so I can't say.
