I was thinking the same thing but haven't been able to get any engineering info to confirm.Might have to stick with the 16's-

I think I read somewhere that it's the fact that Pontiac selected 'all-season' tires for the 16" wheels but 'high performance' tires for the 17's.Sudden thought: Iis it 'tyres' in Canada?
