17 Inch Tires

[kylejack]

Hello all,
What are y'all doing for tires these days?

I have a 2012, and I've had the Pirelli Cinturato All Season Plus 2 for 43K miles and need some replacements. They had a 50K mile warranty, so I should get a little money back. I was pretty happy with them, performance-wise.

I live in Houston, so snow and ice performance isn't a concern. I'm mostly looking for good control and good treadwear.

Currently using Cooper Xeon RS-3, if I remember correctly. They're more of a warm-weather tire, as far as full performance goes, but they do okay in rain. I haven't pushed them very hard in the wet, though, and I have 18" wheels.

Does your car have the 4.6 engine? I've wondered about getting some 17" wheels to run winter tires, but didn't know if they would clear my brake calipers. Not sure if I have the same calipers as the 3.8 model or not...
