i'll get them for the front or rear for daily driving, rear for traction, not really.

I run them, they're fine. Certainly not an expensive tire by any means, new 245/45/17's run about $100/ea. They are actually Michelin's low tier brand, so I figured they must be okay. I've had mine for over 10k/mi and have approximately 60-65% tread remaining.
