I have the V4S/H4S on two of my current cars and they perform well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

- Continental ContiExtremeContact : $117
- Sumitomo HTR+ : $74 <----this one a CL Type owner recommended

Should I stick with the 215/50 or go with the 225/45 on the OEM rims?

Out of this list, I'd highly recommend the V4S. You should consider the M550 if you want to sacrifice some treadwear for traction.
