17s 350z Track wheels

I have been searching for a while, but can not find definitive information on what I all looking for. I have a set of 350z track wheels (17s) staggered. Tire sizes are: 225/50/r17(fronts) and 235/50/r17(rears). The two things that I'm looking for is a one a recommendation on an all-season tire (good in dry & wet conditions). And the 2nd is, tire size should I stay with the current size or not. My car is a 96 max, lowered on Tein H-techs & kyb gr-2. Thanks in advance.

track wheels are 18's



As for tires, you will likely need a lower profile than 50. I'm currently on a 245/45/17 or 245/40/17......the stock tires on my wheels were a 50 profile and i couldnt even set my car on the ground without the fronts touching the fenders. True I am on S.Techs, but H.techs are only like 0.5" higher than S.techs

Yoko S-Drives have yet to fail me.

I got them because of their superior wet traction, and dry traction is awesome too. Very quiet. I had BFG KDW's before and wow, those are loud, wear shttiy. These are quiet, even when you push the to the limit, no noise.

The term All Season tires is an oxymoron, if you live where it gets cold and snows, and hot in the summer, get 2 sets.

The S-Drives are great in the summer, but winter they're a joke, even just in cold temps, they're like slicks when it's cold out. I smoke them like a 70 SS Chevelle 454. In the summer it's a different story.
