Default What size 17s

Are you running? I'm currently running 225/50-17 runflats off a 07 GS.
Not wearing well and getting noisy. I want to replace them with something softer but would like a bit of a wide stance. Not wanting to change rims.
Any ideas?

i am currently running 225/45/17.
its nice, sporty but very very very comfortable to my surprise.
i had 245/45/17 on my last GS and it was comfortable but now that i compare it to the 225/45/17, i would say there were very wobbly and made the floaty.
i believe 235/45 which is stock size should be perfect.....for sportiness and comfort.


but all this depends on your opinion though.

So the same width with a slightly shorter profile. What brand/model tire are you running?
I'm thinking Bridgestone Turanza Serenity's
