I'm looking to get a set of "street tires" to auto-x on in the Tire PAX class. Largely because street tires can be bought for less than a set of V710's or A6's.
Anyway, I'm planning to get a set of Bridgestone RE-01R tires, my only question is size: I'm torn between the 205/45ZR16 and 225/50VR16. The 205's are smaller diameter so better gearing (~7% smaller), but the 225's have 10.7% wider tread.
So, which size would you go with? Keep in mind the 205's are about $100 more for a set.
Edit: I've got an '04 MC in Stock class, so I'm not exactly pushing a lot of power here. Though I've always heard that more rubber is better.

I ran 225/50's on the track and even with the car raised up about an inch and a half from where it is it popped all my fender pieces off and I lost them
. Gonna be hard to fit those.
