195/45 is going to give you the most clearance without being WAY extreme.

Toyo makes a good one. Not sure about the others listed.

My toyo proxes ate up quick too, with a good alignment. I think they are just a soft compound.

I got about 20k out of mine, but they were 235/40/18. Not very good tires, I guess they're OK for all seasons though.
