i run standard sizes for 1 simple reason
A - there are tyre pressure listing, there isn't any for the 195's
B - Technically, its a modification, you need to inform your insurance company about the change
C - Wider tyres doesn't = Better grip as said before, but yet again, skinny tyres dont = better grip, its a medium between the 2
D - Changing tyre sizes outside the manufacture spec, is going to cause speedo to off read (bearing in mind there always gonna be a difference)
E - 185 are cheap enough
Me - im running a Full set of Uniroyal Rainsport 3's
There an agressive pattern, that takes time to click in your head how it works
There cheap - i think there £50 a corner - bearing in mind you also need fitting too!
There very good reviews for better wet driving vs in the dry, but there pretty darn good in the dry as well
They are one of the few tyres to have an A grip wet rating
Uniroyal are either contiential or michelin's sister company, so its not a cheap tyre
Also
if you have 2 with good depth, and 2 ready for replacement
I'd run 2 good ones down, and fit 2 new ones to the REAR of the car
You would think the fronts need it, but your wrong, since you can influence the fronts by braking more vs rear, direct them via steering, or apply power
Your rears, well have nothing....
In a slide, the front gripping is nothing if the arse is still spinning around, you need the BEST grip on the rear
