what about Kumho Ecsta SPT?
i would go for the proven MX. the SPT is a new tire and would be somewhat of a gamble. the SPT looks more like an all season then something oriented for more sport driving like the MX.

since your car is pretty much a daily driver and a fast one at that... and also putting into consideration that wider tires tend to hydroplane more frequently...
why dont you look into goodyear gsd3 they're pretty sticky for street tires (vosko has tried them on my car) and they are great when its wet also.
no power steering and 255's up front isnt such a great idea since you're already complaining about your steering now, and i dont know bout 255's on 17x8" rims

remember it was jsut as fast as mazdamike's car that was running perfectly....except mine had a funky boost transition issue.
