A performance 205/55/R15 tire will improve handling braking and accelleration, all of which you attempt to do at the limits of your tires when autoxing. Anything wider than 205 will require additional modification to keep the tires from rubbing. A 205/50/15 would also be a good choice, just keep in mind that this lowers the car 1/2 an inch, effects the gearing (which may be a good thing), and will render your speedometer and odometer inaccurate.
