Default tell me about it.

I will be going to school and work when i get back, plus i travel whenever i can. I have the motorcycle now, so hopefully i'll put a lot more commuting miles on it...

For almost a year i was putting over 3,000 miles a month on my cq...great way to run a nice car into the ground

Default Been happy with the Falken FK-451

Daily driver car. Price is good too. Tire is now replaced by the FK452. 245-40-17 are $ 100 and $105 in your size, treadwear rating of 300, so it meets your specs listed.

www.edgeracing.com to check prices.<ul><li><a href="http://www.epinions.com/Falken_GR_Beta_FK_451_Passenger_Performance_Tire/display_~reviews">http://www.epinions.com/Falken_GR_Beta_FK_451_Passenger_Performance_Tire/display_~reviews</a</li></ul>

Default I run the Goodyear F1s in 255/40-17...

I mount them on 17x8.5 SSR Comps and I have found them to be a great compromise street tire. They are good on dry pavement and excellent in the wet. They are quiet and the ride is not too harsh. I also found the price to be very reasonable from the Tire Rack. HTH

Hap, wit dakine tired thoughts not from Evahboost, maguire

2nd. HTRZ IIs are great tires. Cheap, sticky, wear well, and reasonably quiet.
