The difference is negligible, an error of +1.0mph with the 215 compared to +0.2mph with the 205. Odds are your speedo is off by that much to begin with, go with whichever size you like more. Tire rack has a wider selection in the 215 (66 vs 21), so that may also be a factor in making your decision.
