I intend to move to 215/50/17 when I need to renew my winter tyres.
You had any question in particular?

Nope, no question in particular, I just wanted some piece of mind. I just bought 4 of them because thats all that was in stock. I got a really good deal on the rims. Are the tires wearing unevenly? I will probably switch to 225/50/17 after these wear out simply because that is the recommended size.

well the first thing is you really don't need a 18inch snow tire theres no point... the second thing is you want a narrower wheel, think ice rally cars.
More weight distributed over a smaller surface area will help you dig down deeper into the snow/ice/sleet/whatever, hense more traction. Larger sidewalls are also good but not nearly as important.
