I'm considering putting the stock tire size Continental DWs on them (215/45-17), but would it be wiser to step up to a 225? Both sizes appear to weigh 20 pounds on TireRack.

I've read that a good rule of thumb is to have the tire tread width the same width as the wheel width. Unfortunately, these tires say "NA" in the specs for tread width. Since all tires are different when it comes to this, I don't know which to choose. Any advice?
