i'm running the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712's 245/50 16's. they are W rated. they ride pretty good in the snow and rain. they stick pretty good. they are worth the money at about 100$ a tire. i don't know if you have 17's 275/40. i think those will cost you a little bit more than mine.

I got the 245/50 Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals which are W rated and they are pretty nice for the money.

Look for some BFG G-Force Sport tires, they are very reasonably priced and are a superior tire to any of the off brands.

I've got these too, and I can't believe how good they are for the money. I'm switching to G-Force KDWS's when I get my new wheels toward the end of summer.

I have G-force KDW's and even though they are pricey...you couldn't talk me into any other tire. They rock...they are like street slicks.

And before you tease me...yes midnite... I have enough horse to spin them hahaha
