My preference would be always to stick to the stock tire size of 215/45R17 for the stock 17x7 rim. Pirelli's web site says the Sottozero 3 do come in 215/45R17...
Interesting, in TireRack they don't have them in 215/45R17, just 205 and 225 and up. Pirelli's site does indeed have them in 215/45R17, and so do DiscountTire. I'd prefer to stick to the stock size as well, just didn't realize they're available in that size. Thanks for pointing that out!
