Default Tire change for 2000 Honda Accord Sedan LX 4cyl.

I would like to change from oem 195/65/15 to either

205/60/15
or
205/65/15

Consumer Reports and Tirerack recommend staying with 195/65/15 or going
with 205/60/15.

Honda,BFGoodrich,Michelin, and Bridgestone recommend 205/65/15 and
going from 6.0 to 6.5 rim(for optimal results though a Local Honda
Dealer said you can put 205/65/15 on a 6.0 rim with no problem).

Mainly the change is for more confidence around curves. Like to know if
anybody who had made change to wider tire, what has been their
experience with hydroplaning and snow traction.
Tires considering are Bridgestone G009 or BF Goodrich Traction TA both
H rated.

Thanks
