Default Decision on Tires almost finalized

I'm torn between 3 tires now...

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R is 1st in it's class (Extreme Summer Performance). It has GREAT dry traction, and not terrible wet traction. Does the R in this mean it has that component that when you burn out and heat the tire up, it becomes sticky to give better traction?

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 has better wet traction, but not as good dry traction.

Nitto INVO is a new tire. It supposedly is very high technology and outperforms the Nitto 555 in every category. My only question with it is, the size available is 245/40/17. Will this work, or is it going to mess my speedo up bad?

Any feedback would be great. They are all in the 160-220 dollar range, so price isn't really the issue. I'm looking for a tire with awesome dry traction, good wet traction, and good ride.

Thanks,
Austin

i have bridgestone potenza re-750's. i love them perfect for carving corners at speed. wet there really good, some slippage but notmuch. other than damn low-profile tire curse of picking up nails and screws(6 times) and feeling every bump and hole in the road!!!no problems, would buy them again.
