These are one of the options I'm looking at getting. Any opinions on these?
I have a staggered set of LTW wheels I want to put these on.
I was thinking of going w/
235/40ZR-17 in the front and 245/40ZR-17 in the back, or should I stick w/ the stock tire sizes?

If you are going to stagger (what size wheels, 17x7.5fr, 17x8.5rr) then I would try and push 235/40/17 front, and 255/40/17 rear. A Fender Roll might be in order, but I'm sure you'll notice the difference of extra rubber. Staggered LTW :D I had them...Loved them, just moved on.
I'd try Yokohama AVS ES100 for a budget minded Ultra High Performance tire. Many people have had real good luck with this tire. If your looking for more performance...then Pilots and S-02/s-03s are available.

I had a buddy who had them for 2 months. They flatspotted when parked, and were out of round. Switched to Yokos and has been happy since. He also had goodluck with Sumitomo HTR+

Interesting...I decided on going w/ the GRB FK-451s...
I had the ST115s on my GSX and I thought they were ok. The GRBs are suppose to be more aggressive, so I will see.
I hear good things and bad about the Sumitomos...and only good things about Falkens in general...
Yokos have heard raves on this board..

Falken doesnt make azenis in 235/40/17... they only have 225 and 245/40/17's

I think you may just be thinking of the Azenis Sport.
They make that size for the ST115 and GRB FK-451

I had the GRB fk451's. They were awesome tires. Had them for 3 months. Tires had awesome grip. Great tires. It would feel like i was pulling up the pavement hitting the corners. I recommend them.

If you're lookin for a quiet ride w/ some good performance I think you'll be happy w/ the ST115. I had it on my GSX and I was pretty happy w/ them as a street tire.
I'm liking my GRB-FR451s right now as well =)
I don't think you can go too wrong w/ Falken tires .
