Wondering what the compromises are. Perhaps the 225 50 17 is better all arounder?
They handled like sh*t on the road, specially in the tight/twisty roads on the way to the TSD event at anywhere above 45mph. There was just too much sidewall flex with the tires I had on, which gave the car a wallowy/bouncy feeling around corners (didn't help that I had stiffer springs also).

Once we were on the gravel, I was going slow enough avoiding ruts and slowing down for bumps/dips that I didn't notice and had a great time.
