So currently I'm riding on 215/45/17 tires. I'm planning on picking up a new set considering my tires are pretty much done. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I should pick up. My brother recommended toyo proxes4, considering that is what he has on his civic right now, but I value this site's opinion as well.

thanks

right now I have the Falken Zeix ZE-512 (215/45/17). I had them on my stock wheels (195/60/15) for a few months before I got the 17s and loved them, thats why I got them again. they're amazing when you first get them but when they're worn you can really feel it affect drivability. I've loved them, they have thick sidewalls so they hold up well and ride great but I've only had them for like 6 months and I'm already having hydroplaning problems in the rain.

I would reccommend the Falkens if you don't mind replacing them sooner than you'd expect. I'm looking for some new tires that'll last longer.
I was looking into these:
Pirelli PZero Nero
Yohohama Avid H4S
BFGoodrich G-Force Sport
Hankook Ventus HRII
