I have some 17" 225/45 Bridgestone RE730's and like them quite a bit. A little more road noise than the stock Goodyears that came with my SVT. Have autocrossed on them a few times, and they do not appear to show any signs of excessive wear at this point.
Getting close to 10,000 miles on them at this point. Would probably buy another set unless I splurge and pay big bucks for the top of the line tires. Good value for the price as far as I'm concerned. Bought them from Luke at Tirerack.
