I think that's too big for our cars, maybe 205/60/16 would be your safe bet.

Your speedo must be really off with that tire size!
205/55/16
in comparison with your photo
205/65/16 here too. The taller tires give you some ground clearance for the snow (especially if you are lowered), plus the taller, narrower profile lets you dig into the snow, instead of packing it down and spinning on top of it. My speedo is off by about two miles and hour off for the winter, so I make sure I go just a little slower. Of course snow tires don't handle as well, so you have to take every thing slower anyways.
205/60/16 does fantastic for me.
Everyone gives me ahard time about having jeep tires. I can't imagine if I had 65s. haha
The only issue during the winter time happens no matter what tire combo, and that is driving in slushy conditions, getting home and setting the parking brake, it can and will ice up and lock the E-brake.
On the back roads around here the snow tires perform surprisingly well during spirited driving, the issue is the road surface material, all the fun roads are a tar and stone chip surface, very sharp and will shred a soft summer tire in less than 2K miles if you drive them hard. A harder tire actually does better, the rubber doesnt shred/rip/tear as easily.
