i never got a chance to drive on the oem tires, since they were worn out when i bought my insight. i have heard many bad things about the oem rubber, including their propensity (theres a good one!) to wander all over the place, and lousy grip when wet. i ended up getting a set of Sumitomo HTR200s. they track like any other tire i have used on "normal" cars. they handle well, but i am giving up about 8 mpg to have all-weather tires.
if you live near another insighter, maybe a swap could be arranged to see how a different tire works on your car.
