Tyres for Forester XT

Can you guys recommend me some good tyres for a Turbo Forester just road use no track or off road....and just normal driving (most of the time) nothing to crazy.....

Car specs are 225/55/17 can I get 225/60/17 or 65 instead without issues?

What year XT?

I used to run 225/50/17 on my old MY03 XT (replacing OEM 215/60/16's)
For MY06 onwards OEM is listed as 215/55/17 (keeping the speedo reading within spec you could use 225/50/17)
For MY09 onwards OEM listed as 225/55/17 - Using 225/60/17 your speedo would read just over 3% higher. 65 profile would be over 7% higher
