Mine came with 215 as well (not a nice alero lol) but the main thing about tire grip is the tire design and compound. For an every day driver who lives in a rainy area, the dunlop z1 is the best street tire I can get.

I hate to turn this into a tire grip vs. width thread but tire width has little to do with grip... most of the time you will get a little more grip and sometimes you actually loose some grip by going wider.... many variables to consider.
