I'm running Falken GR-B FK451 215/45 in the front and Michelin Pilot Sports 225/45 in the rear. They're holding up well to daily driving with alot of fast maneuvering. You can get Falken Azenis ST115 for your requested sizes and they give pretty good traction all around. Only complaint people have is they don't seem to last very long, but then again you're stretching tires. Which probably means you have to modify your suspension, which leads to adjusting alignment settings, so tires may not last very long anyway. Hmm other tires to look at in that range: Yokohama ES100, Bridgestone RE750, Dunlop FM901, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.
