For pure street, or for agressive street/summer only?
I'm not a baller, but all we're hearing is good things about the new Azenis Sport 615's; better wet grip and lower noise than the 215's, and the 215's were pretty much the benchmark, along with 070's, for streetable sticky tires until you start talking about things like RA1's.
Plus, they're avialable in some of the in-between sizes, though you have a rim that will take a 245 and I'd suggest it for rim protection alone.

I'll start looking at some tires soon.

The only potential knock on them is that they may not be able to handle heat as well as the Azenis tires due to the tread pattern, but wet handling will be better and the heat issue is irrelevant on the street pretty much. Besides, the price is right.

$95 each plus shipping for 225/45R17. I think 235/40s can be had for $104 shipped as well. That's what sperry paid anyway.
