Also on stock 18" rim widths (7.5" front and 8.5" rear) you can't really use the extra tread width on the 225/255 (you can see based on where the tread hits the road/dirt marks you are never making full contact on the ground with the extra width).
Lastly - I find the steering feel and response is crisper with the 215 front vs 225 (less sidewall, and narrower contact patch).
That combined with the insane price of the 500s, was a no brainer for me.
