RallyVermont,

I would recommend the Hankook K104, Cooper 2xs, or the new Falken FK-452. All three are very reasonable in price and will give you great summer traction. Check them out and let me know what you think.

See my comments above on the General Exclaim UHP. Tough to beat for just over $75.

Stick with 225/45R17... inside front suspension clearance is pretty tight on the B5.

I don't carry the three brands that Leo mentioned. We've had good experiences with the Kumho ECSTA SPT and General Exclaim UHP at a lower pricepoint. Below is a link to some testing data.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/ge_exclaim_uhp.jsp">General UHP / Kumho ECSTA SPT Test</a></li></ul>
