Thank you, it seems that all weather tyres will be most appropriate then. come to think of it, michelin cross climate may well be what it currently has on it.

Thanks, I never considered what weather the tyre was designed for. To my knowledge, 'summer' just meant anything but icy cold snowy stuff, and 'winter' tyres covered those bits. Maybe I should be looking into all season tyres then??

It seems you’re right, as Carlston eluded to this above. I did say I have no knowledge on this. 4 cm in most things seems like a small difference to a lay person

Thanks for the reply. I’m interested - why is it bad to increase the diameter if it isn’t going to foul on the bodywork? As someone with no knowledge of this, it seems like a small increase. Ride comfort would be a great bonus. If I could get some cheap 14 inch wheels I’d do that and get tyres with bigger sidewalls. I’ll check out the tyre you suggest. I wanted the Goodyear as I saw an auto express review stating it was decent (I did however wonder about the use of goodyear’s own testing facility for this - manufacture bias??).

Hi, My Roomster currently has 195/55 15's fitted to it. I have noticed that 195/65 15's are cheaper AND there is a larger selection available (a particular tyre I want [Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2] is only available in this size). I am replacing all 4 at the same time. I am aware the speedo could well become inaccurate. Are there any other issues associated with increasing the profile? I'm mainly thinking clearance to bodywork? This website has made me concerned https://tire-calc.com/comparison/195-55-r15-and-195-65-r15/ Has anyone out there done this and can report back? Preferably on a Roomster?? Thanks
