You should probably go with a P225/50ZR17. I think that will be a better fitment. Try looking at www.discounttire.com or www.tirerack.com. Either of those sites should help you out. It's up to you though. A 235/45ZR17 will more than likely fit also. If you're having issues with bubbles, a smaller sidewall is not a good idea IMHO.

If you have TL-S rims (6.5") -- the 235/45/17 tire won't fit (well, not recommended -- they need at least 7.5" rims). I don't know if any tire installer would put those tires on TL-S rims. Try another size or get another set of wider rims.
