Hi to everyone,
1st: Keeping  the same (standard) alloy wheels (5,5" x 15") where at the moment fit with 185/65 R15 tyres I am thinking to change dimmension to 195/60 R15 with same load and speed indicators (88H).What you think about this? Any suggests welcome!
Also the "Aussie" members will help me (similar weather conditions like Crete Greece) about which brand a model of tyre you suggest.
Thanks!
P.S. The money for a 16" alloy new set beiing a carrycot,car seat etc for my new baby girl !!!

Hi KKom,

Here is a good site to compare different size tires for your car..

Not much difference according to this capture I did of your two sizes



I have always liked Michelin (and the new XM1 or similar low rolling resistance tyres are supposed to be very good)
