I'm looking for a new set of street tires but i can't decide which ones to go with. I'm looking for something with an agressive tread pattern, 200-300 tread wear, under $170 per tire price range and must come in 245/40/17 (front) and 265/40/17 or 275/40/17 (rear).

The wheels they are going on are 17x9 fronts and 17x9.5 rears.

My first 3 choices that popped into my head were Falken Azenis RT-615, Hankook Ventus Z212 RS2, and BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW2 but none of them come in both front and rear sizes i want.

Anyone else have any suggestions???

Those were going to be my first choice but they don't make a 245/40/17.

I'm not sure if you will find a whole lot of options in a 265/40 17. Dunlop makes the DZ101 in both the 245 and 265, and it's a halfway decent tire I think for the money. The Dunlops are in your price range, and there is a $50 gift card if you buy either the direzza's or the dz101.

I actually have those Dunlop Direzza DZ101's on one of my other cars (Civic Si). They aren't bad for their price but i want something a little better for my S14.

Bridgestone does make a Potenza RE760 Sport thats comes in both my needed sizes, the thread looks pretty aggressive but it has a 340 tread wear rating. Has anoyone tried this tire???
