I put that in because I run on 225/60s and a chap I've raced against uses identical tyres but in 205/60s. He swears that I'm over-tyred for my car, but I don't think I am. I think the difference is that his car is about 100kg (10-12%) lighter than mine. I've also found that swapping a set of worn tyres for new ones makes an enormous improvement in grip on my car, so tread depth and heat cycles are quite important.
