I've got a '88 300TE that I did a +1 upgrade on....went from the 196/65-15 to 205/55-16 on 16 X 7.5 wheels. As I understand it, I also could have gone to a 225/50-16, which I plan to do as soon as these tires wear out. A +1 will adversely affect your ride quality somewhat, but I felt it was a good trade-off for the superior performance. Biggest gains were in transient response and turn-in; both much, much improved.

I'd caution you on a +2, however...you may need that kidney belt. Good luck!
