Go to the 215s. I believe you'll like them just fine.

Good recommendations Dave! I've got 215 DW tires (NOT the DWS-which are good but more of an allseason tire) on the MCS. The Dunlops are great tires and sticky,but that comes with a tread wear decrease. Much like the Bridgestone S04 Pole Positions on my Clubman. Those will be going on the MCS next buy. Bought new for the Dragon and probably won't make it till Christmas, but boy do they stick.
We even have a member that put 225's on her Roadster, they really fill u the wheelwell but would be un workable if she were to lower it I think.-

You can easily fit up to a 215/45.

Yup I run 215 / 45 I have the Dunlop Star spec Z1's but will be buying these next. (Link below)
If you want a tire with a longer lifespan look at the Conni DW's

Ditch the Run flats and your car will be riding on air and not run rocks.
