IE Better handling etc

Would stick with the 215/50 myself. The 45s would make the ride even harder and the extra width on the front might cause it to tramline a bit
more..... and the wider lower profile tyres will be even crapper in the snow, if it arrives !!

I would stick with 215.
No rubbing, taller wall may increase grip more than width and ride quality
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
