I'm running a 215 NT01 and it has TONS of grip for a stock power car, and I am pushing the car hard, and consider myself an advanced driver.
For stock power, EHP tires of 225 width has been very successful for our cars and our clients' cars. With R-comps, 215 is almost as wide as a 225 EHP tire. It works quite well.
