I am buying new tires this weekend and have kinda narrowed it to these two.Which do you think would be better for a daily driver?Should I get all 245/45/17 or 235/45/17 in front and 245's out back?http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?Ntt=245%2F45%2F17&N=400169&part=TTT%2D6482&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch orhttp://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?Ntt=245%2F45%2F17&N=400169&part=TTT%2D5711&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch

My wife's GT has the 712's on it and she loves them. No problems at all in the rain either, which is a plus. Also, with the first one having a utog rating of 220 vs. the 280 of the 712's, the first will wear quicker than the 712's.

i had kumhos on my car hated them thad to replace them after 6 months and they wouldn't hook up for me either. Im currently running falkens and those were pretty cheap at 115 at tire and they hook up way better than the kumhos

I bought the Nitto 555's (245/45/17) a couple weeks ago and am very pleased. They were $459 installed for all 4 ($106 a piece) you won't get a better tire for the money. I bought them at Americas Tire Co. they have them on thier website for 106 each so I called the store and the dude said he'd hook up the mounting and balance for free if I bought them through him. Who ever you do call just say these magic words, "is that the best price you can give me?" It has worked well for me at dealerships too. Tire Link Yo
