If you are talking about wanting better tracking, the 17's did a wonderful job at that. I wanted better FE, so I didn't want them. My wife didn't like the fact that the car "wouldn't steer back on it's own", so she didn't want them either. I currently have them sitting in our garage waiting to be sold on Craigslist. I figured when I list them, I will say that they greatly improve tracking.
