Yes that's the right spec, I just had a couple of those put on the front of mine the other week. I'm not 100% certain as to the tread depth when new, I meant to measure mine but I forgot! But I've seen several people say on here/CS that it's 8mm...
mytyres is a good choice, be prepared for it to take about 7 days for the tyres to arrive and make sure you find a decent local fitting station ahead of time, mytyres lets you search for a sympathetic one that does "fitting only" within a specified radius of your post code

There's two types of 205 PE's - make sure you order the V rated one. Which it seems you have.....

the other speed rating is W - why does it matter if you get a W instead of V? apart from being more expensive.
it has a different density of rubber - it's slightly harder compound which means it doesn't grip as well.
Great folks, thanks for the info!
