Rep Power: 408 I would go with 215/45/17. That tire size will fill up wheel gap even your car isnt lowered. If you want tire reviews, http://www.tirerack.com/
I have Falken ze 512 all season tires and happy with purchase.

Rep Power: 0 hook yourself up with Yokahoma AZS 100's or go out and get Nitto 555's. I settled with the Nitto 450's and I regret it.
And as for the size, go with the 215/45. I have the 205/40's with a RACE drop, and there is still a gap.

Rep Power: 357 what kind of tire are you looking for??
a rain tire? an all season tire or a Summer tire, and how long do you want that tire to last?
what about road noise? do you care if the tires are a little noisy or do you want them silent?
so many questions......

Rep Power: 0 i'm looking for an all season tire, that will last long and isn't all that noisy. i live where it's pretty much dry, pleasant summer weather 9 months out of the year.

Rep Power: 0 I have the Kumho 712 with 215/45/17 and yeah I couldn't be happier with the performance up here in the rain and dryness. The tread seems to be going down quick though put thats typical on not paying a whole lot for them versus other tires.
