What are the best street and some Autocross tires for 17" wheels? 225x45x17 and 245x40x17?
I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the car now. They are ten years old and feel kind of hard. No cracks in the sidewalls yet... I'm leaning towards these same tires again. Costco also has a $70.00 off coupon if you buy four. http://tires2.costco.com/product.aspx?Item...1c-d8abc8693fdf It looks like Costco only carry's 215x45x17 for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Not that big of a deal... |

How sticky do you want them?
Federal JUST came out with their sticky 100tw semi competition tire for the states. I am using their 200tw tire on the back of my 914 and they are just getting pretty sticky, I think they are perfect for the streets. Pricing for reference. 595RSRR (200tw) 215/45ZR17 - $391.00 shipped (Set of 4) 235/40ZR17 - $407.00 shipped (set of 4) Or you could go with any of the autox street tires... Bridgestone RE-71R is the king of the streets right now. I can give you a full list if you want. |

Thanks. |
