These are your only options.. Very simple Tire rack search.

Yokohama ADVAN Sport

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT

Or if you want some that are cheaper but they are ultra high performance summers, the ones I put up before are max performance. (All of them are a lot better than the factory goodyear rsa crap)
Kumho Ecsta SPT

My mistake. I have an S which has 19's. I thought non-S's had 18's.

18's look better than the 17s. Now I have 18s, I think I should have gone up to 19....

Michelin Pilot Sports - does everything well.
Dunlop Star Specs - great grip, noisy.
Hankook V12 - giving them a shot next.....

If you can get 18's then get the pilot super sport (by far the best summer tires you could get) =D

If not, I would recommend the Dunlop Sport Maxx. They wear down a little fast but offer great grip and are responsive.

Note:
In case you are unaware. (just incase) You should NEVER run summer tires in the winter. Its like signing a death warrant ><

The journey comes with all seasons (which still suck in snow although worlds better than a summer tire). So if you want performance, you need to get summers and winters. Otherwise, any other all season will not be too much better than what you run now.

Nah, I run summer tires all year long. Can't remember the last time it dropped down into the 30's though. Hmmm, there was that freeze back in '97, but nothing was open so there really wasn't a reason to drive anywhere.

Ah, sometimes living on the gulf coast is nice

Actually, I think they do. Here is the link. I am also wanting to replace my stock tires on my '11 Sedan Journey. Can someone confirm that these will fit?

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus

They will fit as long as you have the OEM Journey 17" wheels and not the upgraded 18".
The post you replied to, they were talking about Michelin Pilot Super Sports (a Performance Summer Tire) which are different than these that you posted and do not comes in 17".

Michelin Super Sports (please slow down on public roads!)

I hear the tread life is much better than the RE050As
