I am still thinking about going with the F1 D-3 Goodyears 225X50-17. This is the smallest tire they make in a 50 series 17" in the F1 D-3 series of tires. They have the width, the load rating, and weigh less than stock tire. I am just skeptical if the chart GoodYear has is correct and that they can be mounted safely on 6" wheels.
225/50-17 is a taller tire than stock by neary an inch and that will give you speedo error and slower take-off. See if the F1's are available in 225/45-17 which matches stock specs better. I personally am running that size on stock rims and more and more others are following suit. That way, you'll get the width you want and none of the problems.
