prefer 215/45
cuz 205/40 is 2 bouncy and not enough side wall that u'll bend ur rims easily

why not 205/45 or 215/40 ? (if you think 215/45 is a little too thick)

I'd go for 215/45.

1) bigger sidewall like chrisleecool said
2) wider tire as well, therefore more contact with the road

You could always go for 215/40 if you want a smaller sidewall. I would stick with 215's regardless of whether you get 45's or 40's though.
