    tires...

    I'm running 195/65R15 contis on the stock rims of my 95 c280. I'll need new tires pretty soon, so I was wondering if instead of that size I can use 205/60R15 tires (possibly dunlop 5000 summetrical), basically the size that cars with the sport package came with... is there an advantage to running sligtly lower and wider tires?

    1. It will look a little " meaner ".
    2. The steering response will be a little crisper.
    3. The ride comfort should stay about the same.
    4. Your speedometer will read 1.2 % faster.
    5. I reserve judgment on the Dunlop's.
    Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.
