you disagreed that a smaller contact area would reduce grip
Just to clear this up, I was disagreeing with e-bmw's suggestion that it wasn't 'per se safe' to run the narrower tyre and went on to say in a later post that the reduction in grip would be within reasonable limits.

(It turned out to have been a typo on e-bmw's part anyway)

It did, I only realised & changed it after your initial reply.

I'm guessing you have 6.5" or 7" wheels, so I would go to 7x15 with 205/50x15s. Your other idea of 205/45x16 is also good.
