Stock is 205/60-15, but I'm thinking of putting 195/65-15. I want a quieter, smoother ride, with even more bite in the snow. I don't do any sport driving in this car.

The difference in diameter is almost nothing, and the skinnier tires are cheaper.

Any advice?

In average driving conditions you probably won't notice the difference.

I would stick with stock size. Have you considered Hakka NRW? They are all season (actually they refer to tehm as all weather), but also rated for the winter. I have them for 2 seasons now. They are quiet, and great in snow. You can also use them in the summer vs. other snow tires.

The 195/65-15 size was stock on 15x7" wheels for the 92+ 100cs.

The 15x6" BBS's you have will actually fit them better that the 205/60-15's.

A 7" wide wheel is better for 205mm wide tires...less sidewall bulge.

195 will be better for snow and rain performance anyway.

Big price difference between these and the stock 205/60-15. I'd recommend this switch to others, unless you really need sport tires (100's aren't the most sporty cars).

You'll want to air 'em up REAL good...
