How does tire size affect ride and cornering?

It's time to replace my Nankang 195/50/16s. I would like to go a step wider and was thinking of going up to 205/45/16. It will only read 1mph higher on the speedo. I'd like to know from some of you who have done this how much difference I will see in handling and ride, like if it will corner better. Is this a good size or should I go for 205/50?

I have a goodyear credit card so that's what I plan to get. What are your thoughts on Goodyear?

Okay, that's taken care of. I just ordered a set of Kumho ASX 84W, 195/50-16s.
