Default Gonna order new tires ... couple of questions

Gonna order some new tires to replace the stock 17 inch tires .... my new 09 TT coupe is still a month or so away ...

If i'm going to stay with the 17 inch tires .... (cuz I'm cheap and want to use the OEM Audi wheels) what aspect ratio should I be getting if they are all seasons? The Audi brochure has 225/50, 245/45 and 245/40 .... are these are different based on the different rims designs?

I'm probably going to order through Tire Rack and get them shipped to me in Canada ... anyone have any good/bad experiences with them?

Are the Michelin Pilot Sport All seasons Plus worth the extra money over the Michelin Pilot Sports?

Thanks again!
