Tire Size Question

Just dropped my car ('01 9-5 SE) off to have 4 Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus tires installed. OEM size is 215/55R-16. The tire dealer ordered 225/55R-16 tires. When I noticed the difference, he said that the 225's are slightly wider but will make no difference in driveability and handling.
I live in central PA. I went with this tire because it is suppose to have better rain driveability, snow traction, and is quieter (all according to the Michelin web site.) My concern is that a slightly wider tire may impact this.
The people on this board seem to be very knowledgeable, so I am trying to verify what I am being told by the tire dealer.
Thanks..........Bob
