I was in the same dilemma and luckily went with the 15s.The prices on the 17 skinnys is ridiculous.$50 for 15s at Walmart.

If ya wanna sell the 17s i more than intrested,if you wanna a track tire that isnt a cheapo skinny check the prices,you will see that there not all that much cheaper,i run the nexens on my car,51 each from walmart,i dont see the track all that much,but these are pretty good street tires for the money,but for real if i was racing a ton and saw really high speeds best believe i would buy a better tire,a skinny blowout is no joke,there are someother options but there not a track tire,my plan was just to run a normal radial on 17s,i know for 17x7s it was easy to find a tire for,but 17x4 ya might have to suck it up,just to add though if ya got in on the racestar sale you will still make out

Hoosier has a front tire too, but it's a little more than the M&H fronts. Don't know why you guys think the best place to cheap out and go off brand is your TIRES...idiots.

and those M&H are bias ply also, dont run those with radials out back only if you are running bias out back also

Really? You're gonna put a 4.5 wheel on a 7" wide tire? I just went with the M&H 185/55/17 radial from Summit for $200 also.

FYI, that 7" tire is recommended for a 4.5" wheel per M&H's website.

Phoneix has 17" bias ply front runners there still kinda new i think. I picked them up for 151 each came out to 314 shipped. 27x4.5x17's. They don't make a radial though.

Hoosier is also making a 17x4.5x27 in a bias ply, it is supposed to be released end of this month, or early April.
Since I bought Hoosier QTP's for the rear, and I hate mix matched stuff, I am waiting for the fronts to get released.
As a side note, I have Dark stars, rears are 15x10, fronts are 17x4.5, going on my C6 Vette
