235/45/17 is your best bet if you want to go narrower. Works for me.

Default I believe it, I use the same tire in the narrower size. I'm not sure that the differences...

in winter performance can be measured with such a small difference, but I always go narrower in winter out of habit.

Narrower is better for Snow tires, Just ask the rally guys.
