don't make the mistake i made when I purchased my first set of tires. Having been warned by an employee at a tire shop not to put tires with square shouldered profiles on them, I was convinced by tirerack ratings and my own infaturation with the agressive style of the tire and did so anyway -putting a set of BF Goodrich g-force on. They were fine for a little while but then i started getting vibration that no balancing would fix. they only lasted 24K miles when the tread started peeling off.
Since then I've put Michelin Pilots on and Have Perelli P6's on my other 9-5. Compared to the performance tire, they both roll great and provide decent ride and handling for the kind of driving I do.
Of course, you're looking for 17" tires and I have 16 inchers. But I'd still be looking for tires with a more rounded shoulder profile.
