    I run Michelin MXM4 17's. They stick well and are low rolling resistance. Justin F8L would have some good info on what tires to get. Did your's come with the Toyo tires?

    I think the MXM4's are quiet. I surely would buy them for any other car we own and replace mine if they still make them when that time comes for my car. I don't drive much each season and my car is in storage all winter because of road salt & snow. By the time I wear mine out my tire model will be long discontinued :(

    You can try the Ecopia EP422.

    Though if I had 17s, I would be really tempted to forget the mpg and buy a set of the new Potenza RE970AS.
