I read about these a month or so back. They seem like great tires, but the fact they don't offer a 255/40/17 option will reduce their popularity on this platform. I can already see people (the form>function crowd) complaining about them looking like a normal tire instead of some "sic race tire."
They seem to have the potential for a great dual purpose tire. Higher TW should add a little more life over the other 200TW options, with possibly more street appeal such as better wet traction and lower road noise. I will be curious to hear some reviews.

I'm using the 245 on my 17x9.5 rears and to be honest it seems a great pairing. I was honestly bummed about the sidewall/tread pattern aesthetic when I was ordering them, but in person I think they're a handsome tire.

By the way, just found out they do offer 255/40/17 in Japan... really hope they can bring this over to the US

Exactly, wish they do offer a size in 255/40/17. I still like to have a slightly meaty tire on the rear OEM wheels, for better looks (to me) and wheel protection.

since i work for Bridgestone Americas, I'll mention that currently there is no "article number" or "part number" in our database for the 255/40R17. Usually one will be issued about 6 months or so before release if it's going to be added to the lineup so they can start making their ways into warehouses etc.
