The best sport tire that comes in this size, since there was no SportContact7 in 215/40/17 which I also consider worthy. Perfect grip on dry, but also on wet. It heats up quickly, grips the road, and has stiff sidewalls, which you feel from the first turn. It is soft and wears relatively quickly compared to other tires, which for me is an advantage but for others it will be a disadvantage if they don't know what they are looking for.
