Max tire width for W208 (99' CLK320)

OEM is 205/55 16, w/ 7.5" rim. I was thinking maybe 225/50. What's your guys opinion?
I'm looking for a smoother quieter ride than the Goodyear Eagle HP's on it now, they're very harsh and have poor traction imo. I hate it when that damn ASR or whatever it is kicks on!

225/50 stuff I found @ tirerack.com:
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport $86
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW $125
Bridgestone Potenza RE750 $119
Yokohama AVS ES100 $83

I really like the ratings on this one:
Continental Sport Contact CH/CV/CZ90 $109, it's a 235/50.

Thanks

Thanks, but I didn't hear from anyone so I asked local shop. They talked me into Yoko AVS ES100 225/50. Much much better than the pos 1/2 worn Eagle HP's they replaced. I should've went with you because they gouged me. I didn't even get a reach-around. Next time I'm callin you.
