2 pairs of tires in a year!!!!!!!!! yikes! have you tried sumitomo yet? they seem to be working out alright for me, and i even autox on them and they still are barely showing any wear, and tread is still at least 75%+ after 1 year.

also for a 17X9 use a 275/40/17

I would try sumitomo. Problem is last long and cheap don't go in the same sentence together. You get what you pay for in most cases. Sumitomo is going to be your best bet. I paid 88 dollars a piece for my 275/40 R17 sumitomo's through tirerack.com which is the size you will need. Good luck!
