Default Tires average aggressive driver

ok... i work 8-4, mon-fri... i don't really care to wash my car all the time (which i should at least wax to protect the paint, but i don't). I like to go out with my friends alot so i don't spend too much time on my car. So tires that would last is important. But i love to drive fast on the freeway, average 80-100mph. If i see a ramp that says recommended "45mph" i'm usually taking it at 85mph, daily. I actually take my time slowing down, i don't hit the brakes hard. I currently have toyo proxies PXFZ4 215/40ZR 17" and they need replacing. I'm look to spend less than $140 per tire. I was looking into getting 215/45 instead of 215/40 for noise reasons and a more comfortable ride, but i don't want to lose performance.

Ride comfort, noise level, performance and durability are ALL important!

now if you were this person, what tires would you suggest?

keep your foot out of the throttle.....I usually get 50K out of normal tires.. I drive a car that is by far more capable than the one you drive and I wouldn't even consider driving it like you do.....you're gonna kill someone....

x3 For me, I will put nothing but Michelin symmetry X-radials on my accord.They usually last over 50,000 miles. I've had the car for 100,000 miles and only put two sets of tires on it. Once when i first got it, and in december, right before inspection.

But I don't drive like a duence either.

You don't like the Toyo Proxies? I had some and loved them but I didn't drive that fast either.
