as for tires are you selling your current set of wheels? if not just buy some kumho 712s for those then get azenis for autox or toyo ra-1

either way it they will cost wayy less than PS2

with the above combo you'll have to run 255/40/17 tires on all 4 corners. that means you have to raise your ride height so the tires wont rub.

Erik uses RA-1 for daily commuting and he gets about 5000miles out of them so they should last you at least a season.
