As Bill mentioned 205/225 50 15 was an original Carrera size and IMO depending on your engine and gearing is a good option. The RA1 is a pretty good street tire in this size there is also the RR and a few others besides those Bill mentioned if you're mostly autox and track.

Technically 8 & 9 is 1/2" wider than generally recommended for this tire size. However I felt the current R and slicks could benefit from a little more rim (to me they seem to wear wider than they used to) I gambled to have a custom set made and try. I really like them. Again IMO it works better on my car than 7 & 8.
