I'm running Riken Raptor 245 40 17's all around. Other people seem to like them, however, I would replace them if I had the spare change. They shake until they get warm and tend to squirm all over the road. The ride could be better.

I can't accurately speak to the wear of the tires. I'm pretty rough on tires and the little yellow triangle on the speedo lights up occasionally to tell me to knock off the fun stuff.

As for appearance - I should have sacrificed handling and gone larger both in height and width. They barely come to the edge of the rims and look a little too thin for me. I know the popular look is all rim and no rubber, but it just doesn't fit the style of the car. I'd like to fill out the wheel wells a little more.
