There are tons of topics about this if you search, but in a nutshell 205's will offer more grip, but lack the quick response or turn-in of a 195 size tire on the stock rim.

I had them. Handled great but the response was lacking. The price also made it unattractive.

You're referring to the 195 size, not the 205 size. And that's not what they cost now. Given the current prices ($95 for the 195, $126 for the 205), I'd rather stick with the Bridgestone RE010 ($123 for the stock size 195/55-15), which was designed for the ITR. And it keeps the odometer accurate, too. Great tire.

205-50-15 S03 on a 6" rim felt sloppy to me.

i know, that's why i said "a year ago" and i said that i have 195s. i never said anything about the 205s. i was responding to dennis's comment about "The price also made it unattractive".

205/50 15 S-02s and it feels slightly sloppy but overall grip is slightly better.
I use for autocross and daily driving.
