Tire Size

I have a 2009 R55 Clubman JCW.
I am looking to buy some tires am and wondering if I have to stick with the 205/45 R17 tires.
I am in South Florida and need some info on the best performance summertime tires for this car along with different sizes.

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a
fantastic non run flat summer
max performance tire in 205/45/17.
The Pilot Sport 4S is even better but
is 215/45/17 (fits just fine - I have
these on my 2009 JCW R55 most
of the year).

˄This˄ can't be beaten by many other tyres for summer road use.

215/45 seems to be the go too size for the 17" wheel. A little more height and width. Fits fine.
