Help me pick out 17" tires
More than likely im getting 17x8 ROH Snypers over the winter. Ive checked ou tirerack.com for tires. But im not really sure what to go with as fas as 17" tires go. Any suggestions? And i dont want to spend an arm and a leg either. Thanks.

i personally have the Yokohama A520's on the front of my car and i like them. On the rear i have Nitto 555's but they are kinda pricey.

I just got a set of the Kumhos and they are awsome. I think they are better then the BFG ZR AND HR, almost as nice as there auto-x tire! Can wait to try it out in the rain, i think they should hook up well cause of the tread pattern.

I gotta back up Superman (yeah, like Superman needs backup. 
Sha!). I have Goodyear HPs on my Camaro in 15" form. I love these tires! Excellent roadholding abilities in the dry, yet I am able to elicit well-controlled slides when the mood strikes. I only got out of control once when I dropped it into 2nd a little too early at about 55mph while diving into the sweetest tightest little U-shaped offramp. The car got completely sideways and then just like that, the tires took hold and drove right through the rest of the turn. The HPs are great for wet weather as well, I haven't had any problems there.
I have to say Goodyear, just make sure little Johnny down at the GY store tightens all your lug nuts before you leave. Trust me.
