A few tire questions what do you think of these

I am thinking about getting these as they seem to be a great bang for the buck. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

I would like to get 215/60/13 in back and 205/60/13 in front. I might just get 205’s all around but I was wondering what the benefits and downfalls are from getting bigger tires in the back.

Any info would be great as I am kind of a nooby when it comes to tires.

From what I understand a wider tire in the rear will give better traction in accelleration especially in strait line but will promote understeer. also I found this helpfull in sizing http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
