Tire size?

I am looking to replace my OEM run flats, should I get 215/45/R17 or 215/40/R17. Or stay with 205/45/R17 just like the OEM.
What would you recommend for street and track driving?

Greetings from Mexico.

Welcome!

I'm looking to do the same. I'll be going with 215/45/17, probably these.

I am running the 215/45/17 NITTO NEO GENs. They are very sticky and a lot smoother than the run-flats.
