I recall that Michelin Energy tires were noted for contributing to a static charge, something about too much carbon black in the rubber to help fuel economy. I recall it being a problem in my VW days (ah, miss those German seats, even if only velour), never had the problem on my SAAB with leather. It was always worse in this dry weather.
Possible solution would be to buy a braided ground strap and bolt it to the underbody, when you stop it meets the ground and hopefully releases the static build up.
