wow, this format is a new one to me!!

Oh, the tires. Advantages to both. much cheaper tires in 15 inch, look more original, ride nicely, the 17s ride more stiffly, may require a lower numerical diff gear (smaller rolling diameter), much more expensive (i am about to put on my fifth rear set!!), but certainly substantially better traction in general.

I love my 15's, as i won't knowingly approach their limits in my street driving. So don't need any more tire than i have now.

I have fine street traction now, and don't want to give up the smaller tires' advantages for even more traction.
