215/45-17 on stock 7" wheels for sure.
If no freezing-weather/snow/ice usage likely, Summer tires generally have more ultimate dry *and* wet grip than all-seasons. Which category of summer tires depends on your wants/needs/usage:
*Generally*
Extreme Performance (short life, max grip, great for track)
Max Performance (more reasonable life, great grip, more water-channeling capacity/hydroplaning resistance)
Ultra High Performance (still longer life, less ultimate grip, also good water-channeling)

Go to Tire Rack website and review test results and customer survey results to get an idea of relative differences between different make/model tires.
