High Performance Tires
I have an s40 t5 (6spd man.) and its got more torque than it can grip, specifically when you are launching.
Ive done lots of research. I have decided I want Goodyear's Eagle F1 GS-D3. But, what is holding me back is my stock tire size: 205/50-17 (i have the sagitta 17"x7" sport rims which i think look stunning). Will these new tires make a big enough of a difference compared to my stock "sport" tires? Im thinking that the only way to really feel a difference at this point is to buy new wider rims along with the tires...but thats a lot of money that i dont have.
So the question is: is it worth upgrading my tires on my stock rims?
Thanks in advance,

RE: High Performance Tires
That must be a new tire for the 04 1/2 and up they never used that size before.I know the michelin pilots as tire size 225/45/17 they were pretty awesome tires.Like I said in my last post the kuhmo tires are pretty good.They are less than $100.00 a peice I think.
