Now that I have 2 sets of wheels I am finding myself in a dilemma. I took out the 255/225 RE11's out on the track and it was fantastic, great response all while feeling balanced (to my taste as a novice.) Now that I have the OEM 16's sitting around (205/225s) I do not know if some Ecsta V710's would be a good choice to slap on those all while gaining grip over my performance summer tires.

R compound 215/225 R16
vs
Performance 225/255 R17

 

My money would be on the V710s in 205/225, but there's no reason not to go 225/50-16 with 245/45-16.

 

The BF Goodrich G-Force R1 would also be a good choice. Toyo also make the R888 in those sizes. I do not list the Kumho available in the 205/55R16 anymore.
If I can help let me know.
