I'm now running ExtremeContact DWS in 215 45 17 on my Volans.

Sears Auto managed to scrape the paint on one of them, so they bought me a new wheel.

I like the tires so far. Anything is better than the worn out, leaky Toyos I had on it before. Seems to ride a little nicer with 215s vs 205s. Of course, part of what I like about this particular car is how stiff the suspension is, and how it handles, so I'm not sure if a slightly nicer ride is really an upgrade or not.
