Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[aaronng]

What about tyre weights? Which tyres are lighter than others? The 17" rims are about 10kg in weight (about 1kg more than the 16") so I want to make sure that the tyres I put on aren't too heavy. They look awesome compared to the 16" rims. Can't wait to put them on. They should increase overall grip a lot.

Will it still be ok for me to use the 16" space saver spare? The overall diameter will increase 0.54cm according to my calculations - From 205/55/16R to 225/45/17R.

Put the space saver on the rear (like you are supposed to) and it'll be ok at a speed limit of at up 70km/h I think. Too bad with RWD vehicles, you need a full sized spare.
