Now that I have the Tc rims, it's time to make a decision on tires. I can get some Toyo Proxes 4 here locally for $500 installed. Or I can go out of town and get some Kumho SPT for $550 installed including install kit. Also can get the Kumho SPT locally for the same price. Any other suggestions? I am looking for a summer only tire thats also good in the rain too. Also, I have decided to go with a 225/45/17 as the 235/45/17 I was looking at was a little too big for the 7" rim.Thanks in advance

I have a set of Sumitomo HTR+ on my Camaro and they are great in the rain and snow. Excellent traction. Tire rack has them in 225/45/17 for $79 each. The only problem I have with them is that they lose air pressure ~5psi/wk. My sister had them on her Vibe and had a similar problem (air pressure loss). Good tire for the price, though. Z rated too (in case you want to go 150mph!)http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ace=3
