Both BFG and Yokohama makes a decent street tire in 225/45zr16. Both are good performing tires and not too expensive in 16 size.

Running 225 tires in either 16 or 17 will require some research. The stock 215/45R17 is not exactly easy to match diameter for once you change up to 225.

Assuming I go with 17inch rims at stock tire size then I would consider the Contisport tire as that is the lightest and has decent performance.

Oh and don't forget SSR wheels. They are nice.
