Re: changing from one tire size to another (timshier)
Wet performance will totally depend on the tread pattern/compound you buy in the tires. Middle of the road all season tires may have a tendency to hydro plane more with tread width increase. I went to a ZR rated tire on my changeup and wet road performance was much better.

| My last message wasn't clear. I am thinking of changing from 195-65-15 tires to 205-60-15 , keeping the same 7j x 15" wheels. Has anyone any experience of the difference in road feel or handling or speed or ride quality? Also are wider tires just as good in the wet? |
