I've been pretty happy with the Toyo T1-S. Quiet tire, reasonable wear,
great grip. I'm now running their ultra high performance all season on both
my cars, one in the 235/45 17 size, and it is a great tire. I think it's the
Proxes 4. Less expensive that the T1-S, and supposed to last longer. Grip is
pretty good too...
