From the manufacturer it came:
- The non-sport comes with Bridgestone Turanza EL42 (all season standard touring tire) and the sport comes with Goodyear Eagle GS-D (ultra high performance summer tire). Both are the same size 215/55/17. I am positive. I bought my car new in 04. The grip is day and night difference between the two.

To clarify:
-The 6 spoke (non-sport) came with either Good Year Eagle RSA or Bridgestone Turanza EL42. Pretty much same tire. Standard all season touring tire.
-The 5 spoke (sport) came with Good Year Eagle GS-D. Ultra High performance Summer with 20,000mi tread life. Majority of them have been replaced with less expensive Kumho or Hankook tires due to the fact that they cost around $250 each and they have a short life span.
-If you purchased your car with any other tire than the above 3 mentioned, then someone changed them out.
Hope that clears some confusions.

My car came right off the showroom floor with the Goodyear GS-D (ultra high performance tires). I have an 04 6mt sedan. As soon as any little bit of snow hit the ground they were the equivalent of driving on hard plastic slicks. I could see why a car bought new in Canada might not have come with them.
