Chosing between 195/60 and 205/55's
shopping tires for my 95 850 Turbo wagon and Tire Rack shows both 195/60-15 and 205/55-15 as the tire size depending on your choice of "vehicle". I have the Cetus factory rims which are 6.5Jx15. My tire short list is the usual all seasons - Ziex 512, Traction TA, G009, Supra 712s which are mostly available in both sizes. Is there going to be any noticeable performance or feel different between the two? Everything I've read says both should fit fine so its a matter of figuring if the extra few bucks a tire gets me anything other than a different side wall marker :-)

For better dry handling and cornering, 205/55, for snow 195/60
but a pretty small difference either way.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
