Italia

Hey all, I have a question regarding new tires for my 2001 ES300. I am looking to buy a 17" wheel/tires package shortly. My question is I very much want to keep the luxorious and smooth ride the car currently has while adding a more attractive look to the vehicle. Would you agree I would best achieve this by using a 225/50/17 tire as opposed to a wider, lower profile tire? Also, can anyone speak from experience on what an all around good tire is for these vehicles? Specifically on dry/wet roads. I do not intend on driving in the snow with these. I hear good things about the Yokohama AVS and Goodyear F1 GS-D3's but unfortunately they don't make either of these in a 225/15/17 size. =(

Thanks for you help!
