Time for some new tires....

Any sugestions on what i should get ? Will be going turbo in about a month so my new tires must hold up to the pounding. What you all think about the v rated dunlops (think i spelled that wrong..) My stock tires are still running good but after running over a BIG FAT NAIL I think the rear tire is on his last leg.

By the way i have a fbp civic si on stock rims..
205/55 15 am i right?

Im not sure, but if you got Turbo, why not get Zrated tires?
I got the Potenza RE730's last May 205/50/15...they grip nicely, but suck in the snow.

Both size tires will work
205/50/17 - When your spedo reads 60 mph, you are actually traveling 59.0 mph
205/55/17 - When your spedo reads 60 mph, you are actually traveling 61.1 mph
Personally I would go with the 205/50/15 tire. The sidewall will be 0.4 in. shorter, than a 205/55/15, and it will weigh slightly less.
