You can also check out tire reviews at www.thetirerack.com. One brand they don't mention is Toyo - the Toyo Proxes T1-S and now T1R are rated highly. Also, you can narrow down what attributes are most important to you. If you live in a rainforest like I do, wet grip is obviously more important than if you live in Arizona.
You don't want to skimp on good tires.I purchased some Hankook Ventus K-102s in 225-50-16 and there's way too much sidewall flex. In fairness,the Hydras are only 6.5 inches wide, but still, they remind me of my winter tires. I now have switched tires/wheels with my wife(Bridgestone RE950 in 205-55-15)and although they are all season tires, they handle far better than the Hankooks.

Michael-do you have any resent pics of your car with the 245s?
