[s-cars] Is 225 too wide?

[Sam Clarkson]

Hi Audiologists
I blew out one of my snow tyres the other day (always a thrill!). So  
I put my summer 225/50x16's back on pending new knobblies. I  
immediately noticed how much harder the car is to drive on 225 vs 205  
tyres. It tramlines in the dry and aquaplanes in the wet. I put my  
new 205/55 Blizzacks on again today and the car is immediately far  
nicer. Iv'e had the alignment done and all is sweet. I'm not  
commenting on roadholding here as I'm not about to throw snow tyres  
hard around corners, but in a straight line they are clearly  
superior. Anyone else had this experience? I'm tempted to go to 205  
in summer too...
