Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking for a good street tire recommendation. Thinking Max performance summer tires for 17" wheels. 205/50-17 and 255/40-17. Any recommendations?
Thanks
What are your goals? Sporty driving? Autocross? Track days.
225/45/17 works well.in the front, more grip, less understeer, and I think.it looks better too, a little wider
Max performance summer, I like (and am running) Sumitomo HTR Z III in 225/45 and 255/40/17. Very budget friendly.
Money no object? Michelin PS2.
Pole Position S-04, heard lots of good things.
Lots of really good max summer tires, and going to 225/45/17 really opens a lot more choices.
Lots of good max summer tires
+1. I use these year-round in Wyoming, except in deep snow or ice (when I don't drive the Boxster). Michelin Pilot Super Sport are wonderful for summer use.
None of the ones I said, the Hankook R-S3 is pretty noisy compared to the Sumitomo HTR Z III, which is also noisier than my other vehicles... I had some Dunlop Z101 or 102 that were quieter but with way less ultimate grip.
I bet the Michelins have much less noise. Maybe that's partly why they are $$$$
