Need help deciding on tires...
Finally upgrading my suspension. Nothing fancy, Stranos springs, Bilstein shocks, all new hardware and insulators. So, i need tires. Im indecisive as i want to get something good the first time and not be stuck with tires i hate for a year or two.
So, i need help deciding what size to get. Currently have 06 GTO wheels, 17x8 with 245x45s. Trying to decide if i want to go back to original size, stick with this size, or something different. I want to be able to rotate them, so no staggering as much as id like to.
Its a daily driver, i want something comfy but also grippy. Houston weather can get weird.
What are people using on daily drivers these days? Any help is appreciated.

Tire rack has 79 options in 245/45 17...do want an all season tire or would a full depth summer tire work for you down there in Houston? What's your budget? How much power are you making? How long are you hoping they last?

Torn on all seasons. Gets into the 20s long enough to make certain tires a no-go.
I would like to stay under 1000$ mounted and balanced.
Im guessing around 350ish? As far as I know, stock engine with emissions removed, Solomon tuned, long tubes.
I would like to get up to 2 years out of them. Longer if im nice to her.

Nevermind, im a dummy. I thought these rims were same size as original WS6 rims. But theyre 17x8, OE was 17x9. Looks like that's narrowed down the choices.
