i agree. they kinda run out too fast. but most tires for 17 inch rims cost that much anyways..and that extra grip might save ur life one day. p.s. dont get it for winter. rain + azeni's = bad bad bad idea.

if i had 205/40/17's would the 215's fit for me? would i get rubbing on my tire well when i turn the steering wheel all the way?

any other brand tires that would work well with 17'' rims? for daily driving and ocasssional draging/autox... im lookin at 215/45/17 . since those were wat i orignally had before. original tires were pirelli super sport 7000's. and i dont really wanna spend more than 500 dollars mounted on.

My dunlop fm901's have been a good bang for their buck. They don't wear too fast and they have really good dry and wet traction. I recommend these while the winter is still here but during the summer I'd like to be riding on some Azenis's too. Also My opinion is that 45 series is a better thickness for 17's on a 4th gen that wants to autox too.
