depends on the tire. I see 17's from $78-176 each. There isn't all that much demand for a 20" all season radial - most people either look for a performance tire or an off-road tire, but do you know how much demand is out there for 17s? I've got 17s on my Jetta and my Mustang. I've got 16.5s on my truck though.
