Went for them cos that's the size used on street pack alloys, tyre calculator said they were ok and thought both ST170 alloys & street pack ones were the same width. Might have to invest in some 215/35/17's when it's time for some new rubber, I don't mind paying a bit extra as its the only thing between me and the road!!!
Go for some better tyres at 205/40 1st and see if that makes a difference. I had the hankook s1 evo's as stock on my car, couldn't stand the things, truly awful for my style of driving. Since then, I've had Bridgestone ER300s, Parada Spec 2s, UniRoyal RainSport 2s and now Toyo Proxes 4, The Bridgestones and UniRoyals are my favourite out of the tyres I've used on this car. It all depends on your style of driving really, if you're doing the daily run sensible speed no drama, anything will do really, but doesn't hurt spending a bit more so you know if you want a bit of fun, you can without making it dangerous.
