225/45-17. I think the calculator says it's 1.4% fast on the speedo.

In Cinci, you'll get more ice than snow...

Lived there for a year and saw more ice and light amounts of snow compared to up here in the Akron/Cleveland area. I'd still stick with some M3s, Blizzak LM-25s, or something similar.

For the best price and availability, go to TireRack.com. They can ship out of the main warehouse in Indiana and get them to you almost the next day.
