Im running 255/50/17 on the rear and Im having a hard time finding a front tire at a reasonable price want a 245/50/17 but there about 200 a piece . I found a set of 225/55/17 are these to narrow or should I say will these run ok?
 
What is your wheel width? 225-55-17 would be fine on 7 - 8" wheels. Also look at 235-55-17, it's used on a lot of the larger FWD General Motors cars, so there is a decent selection. Nice width, and the overall diameter would be very close to the 255-50-17.

What he said.
And have you been to Les schwab? They quoted me lower than any online place where you factor in mounting/balancing/whatnot. I asked for 235 I think. But The width did not affect price that I recall. maybe its a seasonal thing?
