I just put on that setup (215/45/17) this weekend for the first time, replacing the stock 15s on my base 9-3 convertible. I have not driven it a great deal yet. Thus far, the turn-in is definitely more crisp and does not seem to require as much steering lock. Overall, the care feels much more secure and buttoned down. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the lack of an increase in ride harshness. I was expecting a big difference but I am not sure I can detect any increase in harshness over the stock setup.
I am also very pleased by the change in the car's appearance. They give the car a noticeably more low-slung look. I was not expecting so much of an improvement in that area.
