Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up switching to 15" rims for a larger tire selection and also much cheaper tires compared to the 17". I went with the Goodyear assurance LRR tires in a 205/65/15. Improved the pot hole handling also. Only test drove them so far but they seem to coast much better than the stock 215/45/17 Kumho tires that the car came with. The new tires are 1" taller and about 3/4 of an inch narrower. Hoping for lower RPM on the highway and maybe a little better aero. Also the new wheel and tire combo is 4 lbs lighter per corner.
