However ive been told the 17" are exponentially greater than the 16" and will obviously require new rims (thus costing $2k+).

I want tyres that will hold the road considerably and noticeably better that the stock ones (especially when hitting and coming out of corners fast, or accelerating and cornering from a standing position). It is for the aforementioned reason i want better tyres.

What do people recommend? Could i get a great gripping tyre that are 16" and reasonably priced or is it best to save my dollars and invest in 17" which are apparently better than what any 16" tyre could do?

Im located in Australia if this makes a difference when putting forward ideas.
