I noticed the Avon site listed the M550 A/S in a 205/50-17 size. I called the Tire Rack and they said that size isn't listed on their site simply because there is a longer than normal lead time for it right now (4-6 wks). I figure I can wait that long so I ordered a set. The 205/50 size has the 1433 lb (93) load rating like the stock tires and are 25.1" in diameter. I don't know how much they weigh but I'm guessing 25 lbs. They only cost $1 more than Kumho ASX. This size is $9 less than the 215/50 or $23 less than the 225/50 recommended above.
Interesting side note: Avon Tyres is owned by Cooper Tires. Cooper has recently purchased an 11% stake in Kumho as well.
