225x50x16 tires on an Aero

I'm getting new tires for my Aero and am thinking about using 225x50x16s. If I read the charts rights, 225x5016 tires will do 837 rotations per mile, compared with 831 for the stock 225x45x17. This should result in a negligable .5 percent speedometer error ( 60.2 mph shown at an actual 60 mph). For 16", SAAB recommends 215x16x55. I like the idea of the extra width, and figure the aspect ratio is a compromise to soften the ride a bit but still retain performance. Anybody got any experience with this? That Avon M550 A/S is looking good, its coming down to what size to get. I have both 16" and 17" rims, the 16"s are the better looking of the set.
