Well, what type of roads are you planning on driving on?
Do you want to have longer life, or greater grip, or better wet weather performance?
I'm using Falken Azenis RT-615 on my '98 in 225/45-17 and 255/40-17 sizes.
I needed a tire that offered great grip for the track and the mountains here in Colorado. Wet weather performance is decent.
I went for the larger front tires because of how much the front tires were being torn up on the edges on the track. The wider front tire doesn't roll onto the sidewall anymore, and I have considerably more grip, and the front end of the car no longer understeers through the hairpins on the track.
Enjoy the car!
