215 or 205?

Which one do y'all think better? 215/45/17 or 205/45/17 ? Is Kumho good?

Thanks,
zlander

I have 205-40-17 Kumho tires. I just put them on today. They are pretty nice but there is a lot of space left over. Good tire size if you plan to drop about 1.5-2 inches.

215/45/17 is my choice and talked to discount and told me I wouldn't rub so it would just be slightly bigger than my stock which would be .6 slower not all that much, better than adding up more miles especially since my car is still kind of new. But depends on where you live too, if the roads aren't that great go with more sidewall.
