Can't comment on the quality of the tire. The 225/50-16 and 205/55-16 are both SHORTER by 1/2" and will have more revs/mile than the stock 215/55-16. So your speedo will be off even more than with a stock size unless you get it corrected at shop with Tech II. My speedo with stock size tires is already off by about 2mph at 60mph (shows 60, actually travelling 58).
I've heard of many people using the 225/50-16, they should work fine and give you a little more tread width.
If I went to a 225/55-16 on my car then I'd get more tread width, more sidewall height, AND my speedo would be right on!
