I prefer a car that oversteers than a car that understeers.

Completely agreed!
For my 97 with mighty 2.5  , I feel 255 rears are overkill… but if you are to take full advantage of their grip, 225 is the way to go.
I went from 205/ 255 to a bit unconventional 215/ 245 combo. I was okey to trade off some rear grip for weight reduction to help get up and go. I went from Michelin all season to PS4S summer tires (that don’t come in 255/40/17 anyway), so I’m sure I actually gained more grip as long as it’s not too cold… and a bit wider front gives me sharper turn-in and my tail has not come around me through corners.
Together with base M030 rear sway bar (thickest from factory for 986), I love how my car rotates keeping my right foot on gas pedal, not off to mitigate understeering.
