Hi,
I am poor and had to replace all four tires. Found a used set that was a little different from the original tires. The ones I bought are a little taller and a little smaller width wise. The ride actually is much smoother but the steering feels a little stiffer, a little harder to turn the wheel. Of course that may be because the old tires were apparently way over inflated. Anyway, they seem fine. I understand that when the speedo says 60 mph I may actually be going 61, but other than that, anyone know a problem with this size? Again, the ride seems much smoother but that again may be because of the apparent over inflation problem with the last set. |

they're smoother because they have a higher sidewall.
205mm x 55% = 112.75mm 195mm x 60% = 117.00mm also, you shouldn't have a problem with that tire size. you'll probably even get better gas mileage with those. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
