Im using this link as an example to see the recommended tires to fit 17" rims that fit the PT. You have to fill it out.

I also used this link for the chart to input the information. I only compared tires I don't know the rearend ratio or the RPM.

The results from the stock tires 205/55 R16 compared to 205/50 R17 tires. This seem to be off by almost 1.

The results from the stock tires 205/55 R16 compared to 225/45 R17 tires. They seem to match well with the stocks speed ratio off by less then 1/2.

Also whats the difference in performance rating of tires, ex., Ultra High performance, Max performance, High performance, High Performance All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Performance. Which would be good for an everyday driver?
