Default Tire Help Needed!

Ok here is my problem, I purchased my 99 Coupe the end of last fall with a brand new set of BF Goodrich Comp TA ZR's on the back (1500 miles on them now). I have new wheels waiting to go on and need to find a pair to match the front. Any suggestions??? I am looking for the 245/45/17 or what ever else you guys would suggest. I am waitiing (4 days now) for BF Goodrich to reply to my questions. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

You are a Bears fan living in Wisconsin?!?! Good luck living amongst all the Cheeseheads!

Anyway - Why not go the with G-Force KDW in the traditional tread. It doesn't look like they are making the Comp T/A anymore. BFG's web site shows the tire, but doesn't list available sizes.

It looks like you'll have to go with something else - and the KDW TT is great tire, it's Z-rated and I would think be compatible. I have a set of four that I took off my car when I upgraded my wheels and tires. My fronts (KDW's TT) were stock sizes and only have about 1200 miles on them.....
