I like the 17s because I run the M/T ET drag radials (315/35/17). They provide enough hook to lift the front tires but the 35 aspect ratio also lets them perform well in the twisties too. It's a totally different world when you can roll on the gas in your 600hp Cobra and it grabs, even in 1st gear, compared to most all street tires that make you feather the gas through 3rd gear. I actually find my car much "safer" with the drag radials. It surely seems to me that most Cobra accidents are the result of a sudden loss of traction.
