225/50/17 94 W or Y
245/45/17 95 W or Y

I saw a unofficial recommendation for 235/45 R17 94W or Y, have anyone tired this size and what is your experience?

Just replaced my tires with a new set of Conti Sportcontact 2's, the OEM tires the car came with. Generally pleased with them and I did get 20k out of the first set. My lease is up in late October so I wasn't going to step up to the PS2's though I had those on my old 545 and really liked them...
