All I was saying is that I personally didn't notice any difference in braking or hydroplaning when the only change was going from 205 to 225 - everything else stayed the same (same tire mfg, model, compound, brakes, etc).

But you are absolutely correct that there should be (or is) an improvement in braking and some increase in hydroplaning due to increase in width of the 225.

The main point is that I've found the 225's to be a great improvement over the 205's.
