Tire choice and alignment issues

Tire choice and alignment issues
Well, it's come time to replace the tires on my 03 g sedan. There are a few reasons. First, aggressive driving plays a role, and that's fine. Second, the guy before me had blizzak ws-50's on it, so snow tires weren't the best, and the third reason is what boggles me the most. The tires, all four, were most worn, by a huge margin on the very insides, as if the car is running extreme negative camber. I have the sport suspension with the 17's and have no idea why it would be like that. Anyway, it's tough to find any decent tires in 215-55-17, and I'm looking for performance tires that'll last a decent amount of time. I'd like to spend around one fifty a tire, any ideas?

You can also run 225/55-17 or 235/50-17 on those wheels. There's a decent selection of tires in both sizes, better than 215/55-17. Yokohama S.drive, Goodyear Eagle GT, Kumho SPT. Right now, Tire Rack has Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on sale in 225/55 for $136. I'm running 225/55-17's on my winter setup and it's been fine.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
If the tires are not rotated on a regular basis, you will get significant tire wear on the inside. I believe Infiniti recommends every 7500 miles but don't quote me on that.
I had a set of S drives on my previous car (01 Maxima) and liked them a lot. Didn't push them hard very often, but when I did they responded well. I have the Kuhmo SPT's on my car now and they are OK. Worth the money but when I replace them I'll get something a little better.
