Well, I live in vermont - most of the roads are so-so (I am being nice here). I have not bent a rim yet, and have cranked some holes pretty hard. I was more concerned that my wheel was gone one time....(ha, ha). As far as ride quality, I think you will be happy. On the interstate - You have one hand on the wheel going 100+. Very secure - I only white knuckle when I get over 120. Ride is good - I think when you get to the 45 series profile, it starts to get a little harsh. Again, I cannot stress the difference between the 205 and the 225's in cornering. I have a different suspension than yours also (i think you have a CS right? may be even more forgiving).
However, If you get the bigger size, you will definatly be getting a performance tire. Not to many all season's come in 225/50. I wouldn;t worry about ride quality. Not until you lower it and throw some 265/35/19's on there (ha, ha)
Good luck!
