Azenis are outdated, I wouldn't bother with them.

Tire Rack test of RE-11, StarSpec, AD08, and Kumho XS:

Make up yer own mind, you won't go wrong with the RE-11, StarSpec, or AD08.

Size options:
215/45-17 F, 245/40-17 R (stock AP2)
215/45-17 F, 255/40-17 R (stock AP2 CR)
225/45-17 F, 255/40-17 R

Any of those size combinations will be okeefine.

If someone with a 215/255 setup encountered excessive understeer, I guess one could dial that out with a special alignment, no?

I'll be doing 225/40 255/40 when i buy tires. gonna buy the dunlops for the rears this week as the front BFGs are still in good shape. I'll report back with my opinions after the auto-x event on the 14th.

p.s.
SXYS2k you have the most amazing avatar I have ever seen.
