Depends on how much money you have for brands, but I must say you should get 275's in the back and 245's up front.

Hankook Ventus or Kuhmo or Fulda Extremo are all around $100/piece in 275-40-17

do not use 275-40's in the back and 245-45's up front. all this does is eliminate any chance of any tyoe of rotation of the tires if you go with a directional tread which most tires in the above sizes are. even if you get an asemmetrical tread you can only rotate side to side and not front to back.

275-40's fit just fine on all 4 corners and handle better than using 275's back and 245's up front.

there is no advantage whatsoever to using 275's rear and 245's up front

here is a pic of my car with Kuhmo 275's all the way around on 17x8 98 cobra's

Ive got some Dayton 245/45/17ZR tires for 160 each. Im really happy with them and they get really good traction on all conditions.
