Default Great tire, only complaint is tread life.

I thought I would get a lot more miles out of a 440 tire over a typical 300 summer tire. Two years (30K miles) and they are bald.

Default I have the Eagle Response Edge w/the CF sidewall, excellent quality. Some sizes are on closeout now.

Nothing special in snow, but a few B5 guys have them too and we agree they are quite nice.

Thanks for the input. I was hoping I could get a little more life out of them.

I think you mean 215/50/17s; not 215/60.

Default I have those GY Response Edge 215/50/17 also, I think they are the best tires I've run yet.

They are real quite and "feel" good driving. Very stable in the rain also.

Probably. I was too lazy to go jump over to the tire size calculator.
