If you don't really drive in snow, the 205's are not really required. Might as well get the 225's, and ditch the runflats. This is assuming your wheels are wide enough to install the 225's properly. But remember, the width of the tire does NOT change the size of the contact patch, just the shape. So, the 225 will have better handling, but not necessarily better acceleration grip. Honestly, out of my many sets of tires, the ones that give me the best grip on accel, especially in the wet, are my 205 Hakka R2's. Damp pavement, WOT in first is not an issue. The car just squats and launches like a rocket. Just don't ask them to go around a corner.
