I'm thinking 235/45/17 Hankook RS4 (widest thread width, better wear) or Direzza III (almost same grip level as RE71r with little wider thread width than RE71r).

Will see how long this tire lasts.
Yeah, I don't think you want 245s on a 7½"-wide wheel. Although, autocrossers sometimes run combinations that you'd never run on the street.
