I'll have the camera with me on saturday plus the $$ for the brakes.

I would've recommended the T1-S' but unfortunately schwab no longer carries them in that size anymore. And they don't have the new T1-R's in that size either. Toyo doesn't list a product code anymore for the 275/40-17 T1S and doesn't even list it in the T1R, just the proxes 4 and the RA-1's which are auto-x/comp tires.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 275/ZR-17s all the way around on mine. They do have a bead to protect the wheels and the side walls are stiffer than the stock F1s were. That helps A LOT in cornering. The tires shed water like a duck and have fantastic traction in wet or dry pavement (as long as you don't get into it too hard -- but that's another story). I opted for these because it rains 364 days per year in Seattle and the car is my daily driver. I wanted to make sure it remained planted on the ground. The biggest downer for them is price and they are really soft, meaning you will go through the tires sooner than 50k.

Unfortunately in our tire sizes thats about all you'll get... Most of the tires they sell at schwab have at least a 40k mileage rating all the way up to 100k on the Z800's... however the proxes 4's, t1-s, etc and a few others don't even have a mileage rating in certain sizes.
