the drag radials for 17 in wheels dont make that big of a diffrence.

just get the eagle f1's

donny (formerly) from real speed only saw a tenth of a sec difference going to the dr's. on a 17 in.

but it was a nitto, but regardless, the eagle f1's or toyos will last a whole lot longer.

If you just want a decent tire, check out the Kumho Ecsta MX. Performance should be on par with most of the best, but they're a LOT softer on the wallet.

I wouldnt go with either of those they both arent all to great and the Goodyears are really bad in the rain. Id look into some Nitto's or BFG's.
