My 2000 Aero had 215s for the first four years and now has 205s. Theoretically narrower tyres are better in snow, wider tyres are better in the dry, but I can't honestly tell the difference!
FWIW the manual suggests 205s - and they are also a bit cheaper; and as others have said, the 205s' circumference is closer to the summer 225/45/17s which means that the speedometer will be more accurate.
Regards,
Caspar
