I'd stick to the stock sizes, as the 225s are actually .4% different than the 205s, but in the right way, so they are both only .2% off the 255s, but why mess with it.

How much you want to spend, and I am assuming 3 season use.

For cheap, the Continental ContiSportContact 2 looks like the answer. Make sure you get the ZRs so they match front/rear. (These at some point were teh Porsche OE tire/)

Next step up are the Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetricos which may be ideal for that car.

Last, but not least, and only a hair less aggresive than the 615s would be the New Advan Neovas, but they are pricey.

I'd probably pick between the Rosos and the Conti's depending on my budget.
