Default need new rear tires

well one of my tires got a nail in it.. I have the Touring 17inch wheels. Told it cant be fixed. So im thinking of getting two new rear tires. Im looking for the best overall value.. Not wanting to spend more than $150 a tire if possible..

I was wondering what wil lwork with the wheels and what are possibly some of the best choices for me? thank you

was looking at these dunlop tires for Discount Tire Direct

SP SPORT 5000

sport 8000

sport 9000

These will fit the stock rear 17inch wheels right?

any of these good? I think the SP 5000 are all season right? Others are just summer tires.?

Im looking for a tires that mainly have good performance, good ride comfort, and has less road noise

Thanks for any advice

EDIT:

What about these as well Nitto

SO MANY CHOICES. AHHHHHHHH

245-45-17 Is much too short for the rear of your car. With the wheels you have, you should really stick with stock sizes. Unfortunately, there are a slim few to choose from

what about getting all 4 new tires but getting different sizes like 225/45/17 in the front.. and 235/45/17 in the rear..

Will that work fine or mess things up?
