215/40, 215/45, 205/45... are all very popular... Kumho best bang for the buck... and Falken and Yoko's are more expensive but a bit better , it all comes down to personal preferance...

205/40/17 Kumho Ecsta 712 are wut I have and they're great... I took like a long 100 degree slant curve today at about 70 and it handeled perfectly. I also have neuspeed sport. 40 series for better looks, and about 2 finger gaps all around, 45 series for better ride comfort and about half-1 finger length all around, but I think 215/45 are too fat looking (sidewall)...

IMO: I think Falkens suck, bro used to have then on his 200sx se-R and they didnt grip at all... lets just say it was like taking a corner with drag slicks on....
