Which wheel size for a Renault Modus to improve the suspension?

My wife runs a Renault Modus 1.5 DCI 86 Initiale, Quickshift 5 gearbox. She has had it from new in 2007. It runs on 185/55 R16 tyres on appropriate alloy wheels. It gets expensive at £116 per tyre, considering the wear pattern. I was considering changing the wheels so as to improve the suspension etc. What would you suggest?

Go down to 15-inch wheels, probably with 195/65 R15 Michelin Energy Saver Plus tyres.
