Tires

Post by lowertcl »

Just a quick question on tires. I need new 3 season tires I run winters, my S60 has 195 65 15 and I was hoping to go a little wider 205 60 15. I know the Spedo would be off a little but the overall size is fairly close. Is there any problems going this route? Rubbing, clearance Etc? For some reason tires in this size are a bit cheaper for the same tire at tirerack?
Was looking at the:
Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position(Performance AS)
Yokohama Avid H4S(Performance AS)
Conti Pro Contact(Grand Tour AS)
Nokian I3(Grand tour AS)- Any reviews on this tire?

Thanks

Nokian should be the most expensive. The tire with the highest treadwear rating would catch my eye. Then you decide.
