Not to be nit picking ahole (but what the hell), lower profile tires don't give you increased grip. They might help with turn in and feel due to their (normally) stiffer sidewalls.
I do agree (with ATC and myself - doh!) that going with 16" Kumho V700s, Toyo Proxes RA1, etc. over any 17" street tire is a cheaper solution and will give you a better handling car (faster lap times.)
