F56 One Wheel/Tire Issue

Hi,

I have a 2015 One (1.2 Turbo, Manual) and feel a little loose going into curves at speed. Since I'll need new tires soon, I was wondering if I could increase grip with a wider tire. But I read in a few places that the 102hp One loses some quickness and handling when going bigger and heavier than the stock 15" wheels and since it's a rather large investment, I don't want to take the chance.

But I was wondering if I keep the wheels (5.5") but go for a wider tire - 185 or 195 instead of the stock 175s - could I get a little more grip in corners without losing quickness?

Thanks.
