Question Bridgestone tire options

Long story short I get 50% off Bridgestone tires. I'm trying to figure out which tire to purchase. I have 17x8 wheels right now. What size tire should I aim for? Which Bridgestone summer performance tires do you guys like?

Ditto I have these in 225/45 on a 17x8 rim. They have just the right amound of grip and when they do give out they are very easy to manage and slide around on. Not the longest lasting tire though, I'll be lucky to get through another summer on mine. 20k km on them and they are well passed the half way mark.

235 is too much tire. 225/45 S-04 or RE-11A
