So I had a flat recently, in one of my back tires.

I know I should now probably get a full set of rear tires. Which tires are recommended? I have the stock 17 inch wheels, and was previously running Contisport 245 in the back, 225 in the front.

Should I rebuy another set of the Conti's? or something else.

My spare was a Dunlop 225, and my car looks kind of retarded rolling on one 225 and one 245 in the rear, so I'd like to get this fixed soon.

Edit: I've narrowed it down to the ones that I believe fit my rims... correct me if I'm wrong:

Kumho ECSTA ASX
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Pirella PZero Nero M&S
Sumitomo HTR+
Yokohama ADVAN S.4.

Which one should I get?

What are you looking for out of the tires? If you are only doing two tires do you have the all season on the front of the car?
Let me know and I can make a better recommendation.

I know I have the stock Contisport tires in the front... I think those are allseason.

To be honest, I want daily driver tires, not really for track use, but it would be good if they weren't useless in the handling department. I would also like to keep the staggered stock setup. Seeing as how the front tires aren't worn, and haven't blown out, there isn't really reason to replace them.

The Conti Sport is not an all season tire. I would not recommend mixing those tires with the all season in the rear. In the cold the car will under steer and in the dry warm weather it would oversteer.
In the all season tires I like the Advan S4 and the P Zero Nero M/S.
If I can help let me know.
