2 things.

225s on an 8" wheel will likely have the rim overhang the tire, so curb rash might be an issue. My 225 snows have this issue. I can't even stack them in the garage without rims rubbing each other. And I've slightly borked the spokes when the wheels fell over on their face.

225 Falken 615s are fine because they are wider.

You might also consider the Khumo ASX if you are positive you want all season. I have a set on the Audi, and they are pretty damn good compared to tires that are up to 50% more expensive...

Are you looking for 4 season tires, or all but winter? If the later, there are definitely better choices.
