tire size question

[Kneale Brownson]

I ran 195/65/15s on my 200q20v the last couple seasons and this year I'm
running 205/65/15.  The others went through slush wonderfully.  But were a
bit squirrely on dry pavement.  Kind of like walking around on your tiptoes
instead of your whole foot.  The 205s feel more stable.  Not quite like the
215s I use in summertime, but better than the 195.  Don't know how the
extra width will alter the performance in slush yet.
