Would go for the 45 profile as having used both SO-2's finfd the 40 profile just a little harsh for the road.

Maybe I am just getting too old..

SO/2 aren't available in 205/45/17 are they? Having owned both 215/40/17 and 205/45/17, I would say that the difference in tyre size is not noticed (very very minor rolling raduis difference). Currently have 215/40 Goodyear F1's and they are better all round than any other tyre I have owned.

A note about 205/40/17's - They are slightly smalled than the recommended size and can cause slight speedo inaccurancy. They other two sizes should be fine.
