tire size change 205/55-15 to 195/60-15 okay? Options

Hi,

I am poor and had to replace all four tires. Found a used set that was a little different from the original tires. The ones I bought are a little taller and a little smaller width wise.

The ride actually is much smoother but the steering feels a little stiffer, a little harder to turn the wheel. Of course that may be because the old tires were apparently way over inflated.

Anyway, they seem fine. I understand that when the speedo says 60 mph I may actually be going 61, but other than that, anyone know a problem with this size?

Again, the ride seems much smoother but that again may be because of the apparent over inflation problem with the last set.

they're smoother because they have a higher sidewall.

205mm x 55% = 112.75mm

195mm x 60% = 117.00mm

also, you shouldn't have a problem with that tire size. you'll probably even get better gas mileage with those.
