How well do these work on say 245/45/17 or 245/50/16? Will they cut decent 60s? Any constructive feed back is welcome. I'm prospective of buying these in the future at the moment.

Would be using it for mainly street (DD), occasional track times.

I have them on my GTA and they are great. I even ran an auto-x in them and I have no complaints. They were no match for my stall + gears + TPI, but no street tire is.

I have them on the vert, and was cutting 2.0 60's all night in the cold ass weather. They're a great handling tire, reasonably priced, and have a cool looking tread pattern to boot.

I have the 245/50/16s.

good tire wear is decent, never used them at the track but seemed to hold the road well.

Why 245s on a 17" rim?

17x? is the question. But might be narrow for sure.

Run the 245 upfront and 275 in the back.

Already am, just curious how they would stack if I had 17s all around.

Even if you went to a 17, I would do the same.
