For a daily driver, I'm not sure I'd change sizes unless they were the same diameter. I hate wonky speedos.

I'm highly tempted to try those, especially at $77 (225/45) each. Dry traction is plenty for the street, and wet traction looks outstanding. I just wish I knew if they are noisier than the ST115. Where are you seeing they beat the BFG? I only saw it tested against the ES100 and the General Exclaim. The BFG was tested against the Kumho 712, and it seems that the 712 has it beat. I guess if the SPT is Kumho's upgrade from the 712, then it stands to reason that it will beat the BFG as well.
As far as going to 235/40/17, it only changes the speedo 1.1 mph at 60mph, not enough for me to worry about. As slow as my car is though, the added acceleration would be nice. And it's only $5-$10 more per tire, seems like cheap horsepower to me.
