Not Ranked
I'm running the GT-II's and yes they are ****. What surprised me when I recently put on my racing slicks and did a "few laps" around town just for kicks, was how much more confident I felt driving the car! I had become so used to being so careful in the corners with the GT-II's so as not to break loose the tires or upset the handling it substantially reduced the "fun factor". I was downright paranoid the back end was going to come around if I twitched on the throttle! With the slicks, when the light turns green and making that turn I confidently would go deep in the throttle and just "rip" through the intersection and down the road. Hardly a second thought about, "What if it breaks loose?"
That was the way it used to be with the Bill Boards, not quite as aggressive but night and day difference compared to the GT-II's. I think the Avons will deliver that feeling of "confidence" once again, I hate driving "paranoid" all the time.
17's are not an option, frankly, they look silly...
