I just want to make a good choice. Tires are the single most important part of the car (to me) 
I use a 225/55R16 for the winter (Michelin A/S Pilots) 8/32nds Tread left for sale, $200 shipped.
also have a pair of Hankooks 225/50Z16 Tires for sale with 15/64ths of Tread left for $150 shipped.

I just looked on Tirerack's website and they don't offer the Perelli PZero Nero M+S in the correct size for the rear (245/45/16). Where are you getting yours?

if you don't run your car at 10/10ths the 225/50R16 will work just fine. You really don't want a wide tire in the Snow anyways.

If you drive it all year, make sure the tires can handle wet weather. I put on The Toyo Proxes. I love them. They don't have the absolute dry weather performance, but in the rain I feel S-A-F-E-! My car is a daily driver and I don't wide sliding around in wet weather when I least expect it. The tires handle the just rained on streets as well as heavy rain. 
cruise with attitude but safely when it's wet.
PS - In wet weather, the car can just go out from under you even when driving correctly - I have experienced this happening when you have less than 50% percent of the tread on the P's in particular. You can check more anecdotes from other members under other title searches. You must have good tread on the back and also ON THE FRONT. Not enough on either end and you are asking for some interesting situations in wet weather.

Like "hensonbear", I have been running the Toyo Proxes 4 for the last 2 full sets of tires (8 rears/4 fronts) and am very satisfied with the grip and wear characteristics. I'm trying the T1R this time for just a hair more grip.
I would've recommended those to the OP, but his list is already down to 2 choices and the Toyo isn't one of them.
One thing though.....you can get the Toyo in the correct size for the rear (245/45/16) which I feel is mucho important.
