Hi, Guest
Subject line says it all folks. I've picked up a set of 17" rims which are off getting cleaned up and powder coated.
I know the tire size I need to avoid rubbing or speedo issues (205/40/17 IIRC)
But what I'm lacking is knowledge about which tire to shop for based on my needs:
Spring/summer/fall driving, mostly city & some highway
Wet/dry traction a must (Hey, I may have ABS/TCS but that only goes so far)
Must be able to handle the occasional lap at a track or night at the dragstrip without falling to bits.
Must be reasonably priced and long lasting (Or supercheap if the suckers are only going to last a year)
Must be easy to source (I'd like to use the place I'm going to be storing the Nokians, Kal Tire)
Any suggestions?

I've just found out that the rims I bought require something called a "hub centering ring" to run them on the Focus. Where do I get a set of those things and how much will it run me?
