if you want to stick with the stock size, got with the nitto. they offer them in 225/50/17. im pretty sure goodyear doesnt have any in that size.

DONT DO RSAs!! I had them as the OEM

tires on my old Gen4 SE and they suck...loud, rough, sloppy when wet..just a tad better than the Potenza RE92s -which are THE worst tires I've ever had!
Definitely, many, MANY better tires out there than the RSAs...I have no experience with your other choice but...nix the Goodyears!

i would definitely recommend getting different rims. you can get cheaper, better performing tires for them. look for anything at least 7.5 inches wide.

I'd recommend Nittos. They are a great dry tire.

If you don't want to change rims, I'd recommend Dunlop Sport A2. They fit the OEM rim and are a pretty good compromise between wet and dry traction.

I checked the Dunlop site, CRMax. The A2's aren't available in the OEM size of 225/50R17. What size are you running?
