those tires are actually kinda small for your rims. AM and tire rack recommend 275/40-17's.

i would go with 275/40-17 Nitto555's. they're a little more expensive than a lot of other tires but they're pretty much the best u can get short of drag radials

If you aren't doing much racing etc.. and just use it for a lot of DD just get 245/45's or 40's all the way around.... Go with some kuhmos.

if you are daily driving and not going to the track go with a kuhmo but if you go to the track get 275 all the way around wraped in a nitto

I do a fair share of driving and i go to the track about once a month but most is just back and forth to work. i was looking at the kumho tires, seam like there nice and fairly cheep. i was also looking at these tires called Falkens to. really liked the falkens just dont know what they would look like on the car. The nitto tires are nice but for there price i think id just go with some goodyears or dunlops like i have now. just want to try something different, a little bigger and still have some quality. now im fighting with size, maybe 255's all the way around 275's just sound like there going to rub. thanks for the input everyone

275s will not rub that is the only size that i have put on mine

Don't put 245's on a 9" wheel. Just go with 275's all around. 245 is the correct size for an 8" wheel.

A 245 will be fine, especially for DD.

Falken 452 - 275/40/17 all around ... best summer tire for the money
