I have a 2g GST with 99 GSX wheels currently on it. Need all 4 new tires and found a place with good deals. These tires could see snow if i decide to drive it during the winter but i doubt i will, will be driven in the rain but doesn't rain too much in jersey but it does rain, there are some places around me where there are potholes although i do avoid them pretty well, i do drive on the highway a decent amount, and i OBVIOUSLY would like the best tires performance wise.

The choices i found are as follows:
P225/50R17 Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 Black Wall 6/32 $45.00 1 7236
P225/50R17 Michelin Energy Saver A/S Black Wall 6/32 $45.00 1 7235
P225/50R17 Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 Black Wall 7/32 $45.00 1 7347
P225/50R17 venezia Crusade HP Black Wall 8/32 $50.00 1 7081
P225/50R17 Dean Equus LSI Black Wall 7/32 $50.00 1 7200
P225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Black Wall 8/32 $50.00 1 7058
P225/50R17 Toyo Extensa HP Black Wall 9/32 $55.00 1 7201

To me the best option looks to be the michelin pilot sport A/S?

any of these as well?
P215/50R17 General Exclaim UHP Black Wall 8/32 $45.00 1 5095
P215/50R17 Cooper Zeon RS3-A Black Wall 8/32 $50.00 1 7228
P215/50R17 Toyo Proxes A20 Black Wall 8/32 $55.00 1 6361
 
Depends on how soft or hard the tread compound is. Look to other people that had the same tires and see how many miles it lasted for them. That also varies depending on vehicle weight and power and how hard the person corners.

Also really depends on driving style too, obviously.

I found deals on some tires, all 225/50/17 but there isnt any sets of 4 so i know its bad to have all 4 different tires but what if i put 2 of the same tires in the front and 2 different tires in the back, is that going to be completely terrible for the car?
 
No. I used to run a completely different size in the back from the other 3. You're not AWD so it doesn't matter really what you run in the back.
 
also "loud" tires kinda go BRRRRRRRR MMMMMMBRRRR or something like that

Loud tires make like a humming sound, best described by the sound you hear when lifted trucks w/big tires drive by (to a lesser degree on cars, obviously). If you have an aftermarket exhaust, it's something you won't notice.

I would avoid the "Venezia" tires, since I've never heard of them and they're likely a cheap Chinese made tire.

The "Dean" brand tire apparently is made by Cooper Tires, so they should be ok.
 
No Falkens?

The Falken Sincera or Ziex should be real close to your price range on the others and I've always been a big fan of them. They're softer and rated shorter (50k) treadware, but they have very good summer and winter traction.
