My sedan 17 inch tires are getting worn, will be keeping
my original wheels so was wondering what size tire to go
for with regards to ride, comfort and handling, there seems
to be 2 choices 235/50/17 and 225/50/17 that don't knock
the odometer off by too much, any pros or cons..also what
make do you guys recommend, I was thinking of the Goodyears.

I replaced my 17" EL42s with Kumho ECSTA KH II
235/50/17s and like them very much. Total install price
including the Discount Tire special balance was around $615.

03 5AT Sedan, sunroof, splashguards, HKS muffler,
14 wire Grounding kit, Z Duct, Stillen HF/AB
Underbody rear diffusers, Drilled alum pedals,
Stillen sway bars H/H

 

What did it do to appearance, handling, and comfort, plus did
it change any on your odometer.BTW did you do the diffusers
after purchasing the G.

Hey Cato, just remembered you, did you pick up the sport
suspension yet, mine can be had for 100$

I'm not a fan of GoodYears. I went with the Pilot Sport A/S in the 235/50-17. Excellent all-round tire with no drawbacks except price.

I'm looking for a summer tire, not a 4 season, according to
tirerack the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 came out on top..

225/55R17 is equally as close to stock as 225/50R17, just in the opposite direction. I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in that size on my sedan. They have an amazing grip. The ride seems to be roughly equal to the Turanzas I had before. They're not an economical choice, though.

 

I just put on the GS D3's (235/50-17). Great tire !

 

Did they just start making that? They didn't make that tire in a 235/50R17 a few months ago. Cool.

 

Tirerack's got them for $174. I was surprised to see them in the 235/50-17's. The timing was good because I didn't want to spend the money on the Michelin Pilot A/S.
