Time to replace original tires. I have a 2008 CIVIC LX with 205 width tires, but with wheels that accommodate up to 225 width (the EX model has 215, for instance). Has anyone upgraded width of their tires? If so:

1. How did this affect on-center steering? (I've been told that wider tires make steering less precise.)
2. How did this affect acceleration? (I've read that heavier tires make acceleration slower.)
3. How did this affect braking? (I assume better braking?)
4. How did this affect handling? (I've read that handling should be better.)
5. How did this affect gas mileage? (I've read that gas mileage decreases because of greater weight of tires.)

Thanks greatly for your assistance.
