I searched and read some of the posts here and found the following
BTW the size iam going to be installing is 255/45/20 all around.

The options that i found are:
1-Toyo proxes many here have them: to me they look more SUVish than a sedan tire so I am staying away.
2-Yokohama Parada spec-X again great price but still has the SUV/Truck look.
3- Nittos I used them in the past on my mustang so I will try something else.
4- Avon techs great price but dont come in the 255s
5- the factory Goodyear F1s I love them but willing to try something else.

So I searched more and found this tire
Falken FK 452 they do come in 255/45/20 price range on the web is anywhere from $160-$200 similar specs to the F1s slightly better tread wear 300 instead of 220 for the F1s.
Best of all it looks amazing.

They will be on the car in 7 days once on I will post a review.
Looks like you've already answered your own question...Falken.
