Depends on the air pressure you use in the tire.
I have a 205/45/16 on my 08 on a 6.5" rim and at first used 33psi all around but found the performance tires didn't like this low pressure at all. Felt like I was driving in sand and it was clear I was going to have uneven wear issues. I adjusted my pressure to 46 psi up front and 35 psi rear which is giving me better mileage, grip and wear. Your psi settings will vary depending on tire but will almost certainly need to be higher than the stock tires if upgrading to sticky rubber.
