I think there is not much difference in terms of handling or performance by swapping to 225/45/17...maybe very slight...
As for brands..it will be better for you to shop around as everyone have their own preferences...it really depends on yr budget bro..
Here is a link that can give you some insight on changing to the right size of tyre..http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html
or you can read this forum about tyres...
