honestly i love my nittos but they warp easy w/ the faulkens i'm much happier the wet traction still sucks but if i want really good wet traction i need to spend close to $200 a tire, no thanks. my opinion being that you've had the kumhos b4 just stick with them especially in the size you want. 215/45/17 is a standard size for most people who have 17" rims on their accords
