quietest tire all season?? will take a hit in performance need quiet! thx

I have my rf dunlop tires still and my wife is complaining that it feels like a roller coaster. I have the 205-45-17 . what size tires will fit on these wheels??? and which size is the quietest and most smooth. i am willing to give up performance since I don't race or drive extremely rough. I do need them to be all season since i live in chi town and we are known to have some wetness issues~ any help/input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Recommendation on non rf tires

I just picked up four cooper zeon sport a/s tires. Pretty decent price (110.00) each. Much nicer than the run flats. Better ride, smoother, nicer handling and 2.8 mpg better than rf. Nice and quiet as well.

Alex, nice tires. Now the question: If I have 205/45/R17's on my 06, which size (that tire rack lists as being available: 215/45/R17; 215/50HR17; 225/55HR17; 235/55HR17) would be the "best" or most appropriate fit?
Thanks...and I apologize for my ignorance
