Sidewall sure to curve slightly. This is for the sidewall to flex to absorb the up and down movement. Try looking for tyres that are more square in design. Take a look at Yokohama S-Drive....

Toyo T-1R is pretty good. I tried before on my turbo. Good dry grip. Aquaplaning resistance is not bad, but for me wet grip suffers slightly, wheel spin if apply to much power taking off in the wet. Sidewall a bit too soft for my heavy car.
Others using on NA car, seems pretty satisfied with it. But I think the prices have gone up quite a bit since I used it last.

That is my opinion tested on my turbo car. Some mentioned for them grips well in the wet.
For price better check around first. Last time mine only RM380 for 215/45/R17 size. As mentioned, it has got up quite a bit.....
