What a bargain!

The recommended tyres for 17" is 205/50/R17.

For performance tyres, you have a couple of choices:
Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 - these come highly recommended (or for ultra-high performace try the Potenza RE050)
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, or F1 GS-D3 (not sure if they do a 205/50/R17)
Pirelli PZero Nero or PZero's

Alternatively, try Falken 452's or Maxxi's MA-Z1's. I know some peple also like Dunlop SP Sport Maxx's, my mate had a good run on these tyres on his Mazda 3.

Personally, I went for Marangoni Mythos tyres, which grip very well and are reasonably priced. I would probably try the RE001's next time, for the sake or comparsion.
