Recommend new tires (all seasons)

i roll around with Zeon ZPT's.

the tread life is amazing. i dont do burnouts however.

i travel to and from college which is a 3 hr drive each way. gone through the snow and rain. theyre great tires. they might not be the best but they make me happy

I recently bought Nitto Extreme Performance NT555 255/40-17. From AmericanMuscle.com, they have the 245/45-17s listed at $122 a piece.

I went from the 245/45-17 stock tires to the Nitto 255/40-17s, and man, the difference was unbelievable. I have an auto, and when I launched, the old ones would start spinning over at around 1800 rpm. These ones don't start spinning until almost 2200 rpm. And then, they hook. Period. I have better traction with these tires in the rain than I did with my old ones in dry conditions. Now, whether this extra traction was due to the new, better tire or the extra cm. of tire, . How they will hold up with your cars power, I also can't say. But for my mostly stock 98GT, I love them.

As far as treadwear, I can't say just yet. I have about 10,000 miles on them, and they still look great. But I have not been doing burnouts or anything like that, so I'm not sure how they will hold up in those conditions.

One thing about the 255/40-17s though. The front tires do stick out just a slight amount more than the stockers did, and I expected that. It's not even enough to notice, but they do tend to throw mud/water on the side of the car. Not too bad, but they do do it. But you said you're going 245/45-17s, so you shouldn't have to worry bout this.

Good luck.

I run the Eagle GTs on my DD('06 Civic Si). Very pleased with them. Have excellent grip wet or dry and not bad in light snow or icy conditions. They are light years ahead of the Michelin MXM4s that came on it from the factory. Have good reviews on tirerack. I have about 5K miles on them and no complaints.

i would vote for the goodyear eagle gt, but go with the 255/45/17 it will look a little bit better on the rim (hell thats what 94-95 cobras came with factory) and give you better summer traction while sacrificing only slightly in the winter.

the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX is a failrly decent tire, and its a good price. they tend to run a bit wider than other brands so i think a 255/45/17 would look pretty good on your car
