The General Ultimax Arctic was the other finalist in my decision.
I can go with either the stock size of 215/45/17 on my oem rims or down size to 205/50/17.

Good choice. I would recommend getting some steel hubs for the winter tiers a size or two down (17 or 16 ") with the bigger tire. I did this the last time I had a fun to drive two door.
Then when it warms up, you just pop off the winter tires, stack em in the corner, and put your fun tires back on.
That way if you do slide or anything (rare, but possible) you don't scrape up your pretty rims.
