Default tyre size/brand choice 16's

alrighty, the yoko a539's are getting pretty worn now and to be fair are pretty rubbish anyway.
this is for my ZT xr2, so grip is essential and cost is a factor as always.
my choices of size are limited, but i'm on 195/45R16 at the moment and clearance is ok, looking at 215/40R16 it seems the circumference is a tiny bit smaller which is fine, just how do fwd cars drive with these, will steering be significantly heavier and is it worth the extra 20mm width?
also which brands as this is fast road and hopefully a bit of track action, i definitely can't go bigger than the current tyres due to arches and inner wings.
so tips on choice welcome.

thanks
sean
