Jeff,

Yes they do, in fact thet's what I have on mine. The wider tyre (225) gives greater stability by providing a larger footprint. This is noticeable on highway at speed with crosswind. Car doesn't move. Helps with spirited cornering as well. Downside is occasional tramlining on poor surfaces. It depends on what sort of driving you are into. They were good on the track as well with less sidewall deflection that the 205's, as you would expect.

Hope this helps,

Geoff
'94 525iA
