Suggestion:
Ditch all 4 "grand touring A/S tires" and put Hankook RS-3 in 225/45/17 F, 255/40/17 R sizes. This will transform your car which is currently riding on minivan tires

This might be the best $600 you ever spent on a car.

Agreed. This is exactly the brand and sizes that I run for my daily street tires.

The PS2's are better in the rain but the Hankook RS-3's are better in the dry and cost a heck of a lot less.

No doubt - $ 600 for a set of 'kooks is an awesome bang for the buck. I know my 18 inch startspecs were a lot more than that. Definitely a good reason to stay with 17". I would suggest wider and less stagger front to rear - something like 235 front / 265 rear if they come in such sizes.
