225 tires won't help you drive the car at the limit any greater than 215's would on a curvy road. Your contact patch will still be roughly the same with 215 or 225 tires on a 7" wheel.

In fact, 225's will make you lose tire feel in most cases if you will be running them on a 7" wheel.

Get 225 tires if you like the meaty look. But if you think that you'll be able to drive at the limit with more confidence with a 225 tire on a 7" wheel. You are mistaken.

Get proper summer tires and you will feel the confidence. The stock primacy tires are a joke. They were used for the purpose of marketing to showcase how drift friendly the car is and how good your MPG are. Those tires belong on a Economy car.
