I am looking to buy a set 205-55-17 for summer. Comfort and noise levels are the top priority as I run seperate wheels and tires for track events. Tire rack only has three options on that size.
thank you for the suggestion. i am running 205-45-17 yoko evs currently. They are great tires however just not comfortable enough for Denver streets. I would like to increase the shoulder of the tire to get a little more comfort during the week.
Are you sure you really want to increase overall diameter that much? It's not just your speedometer that will be off; your odometer will be increasing at a (fairly significantly) reduced rate.
Why not consider dropping down to 16" wheels if you're concerned about comfort? At least in that situation running a 55 series sidewall would be appropriate. Hell, I've got a set of 16" bridge spokes if you're interested.

Not to mention the gearing and slowing down your acceleration a good bit.
