I'm amazed at what tire size alone can do. Trying 205/50/15 once made my 9000 feel like a c900 and improve acceleration. Anyway, it depends on what you want. The 225/50/15 is the same size as 205/55/15 but it may be too wide, depending on the tire brand. It, 225's, may also handle sloppily with tires that have flimsy sidewalls. With stiff sidewalls, it'll handle great. The 215/60/15 will be like doughnuts and affect acceleration and handling.
