I got TOYO Proxies, 215x17x40's (I tired to get 225 but they did not have any avalible frown.gif )there very nice tires, very good traction in dry and wet (not perfect in wet though) I had kumhos (215x17x45) but there a little soft for my taste because of that they ware out easy and you lose all traction because of it.

the toyos I got are a little pricy ($700 ish) but I race autocross on em so I needed something that would keep me glued to the track
