You might also consider the 225/55/17 size. Some really good tires available there . . . Although admittedly, this size is slightly taller than OEM 225/50/17 meaning your speedo with be off and your odometer reading will be a little lower . . .

That is the size for the GLE w/ 17" wheels. You maybe selected the wrong car? as for 235/50/17, I did this to my car, and there are no issues. The speedo error is 2mph @100mph. (indicated 100mph is actually 102....) They fill out the wheel wells nicer and provide a bit more lateral grip. I used Pilot Sport All seasons, but I guess the kumho's are ok
