Fit tires 195 or 205

I was wondering which is a better fit (haha) the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 195 50 16 or the 205 50 16 for my 2009 honda fit sport. I see so many people recommend the 205's but cant seem to get it thru my head why the 195's wouldn't be closer to factory 185 55 16's. thanks for any help.

Just get the 205. I've owned 108 weekend only cars (not even including daily drivers) the past 25 years, and can tell you that the upgrade from the 185 tire on my brand new '12 Fit Sport to a 205 DWS has been one of the best upgrades I've ever made.

I've read on Tirerack that the Continentals lack a little in the steering feel dept. Is this true? Steering feel is most important to me.
