Default 205/40/17 tires recommendations?

Any recommendations? I currently have Nitto NT-450's and I'm looking for something different.

Toyo? Falken?

TIA

i had Dunlop SP Sport 9000s in 215/45/17 on my first car (94accord) and they were my fav tire ever. too bad they're discontinued.

Kuhmo Ecsta Supra...best tire under $90 IMO.
Yokohama...can't go wrong w/them

215/45/17 looks A LOT beefier and they are wider, fits easy on a 17x7" wheel... look into that size. But I mean its going on a civic so I'm not sure about how it will fit...

if you want grip, dont buy ecsta supras. they SUCK. spend more than 75 beans apiece, you wont be disappointed.

That's what I'm getting on my new wheels. I'm running Toyo RA1's right now. They are a good summer tire, but not in the rain!

dood u ever have them? I did and they were gripped just as well as the next.......not good enough for autox but they wear slow and for $80/tire they're a damn good deal. Just thought I'd share...
