Default Tires
I own a 2001 S60 and it's time for tires.
There are P195 65 R15s on now, can I go up a size, say to 205 60R 15s?
Also looking for recommendations for tires; all weather, quiet, good to great handling.

Thanks!

You should be fine going up one size. The speedo might be off by 1 to 2 MPH.

Kuhmo is a pretty good tire.

I can live with the speedo off slightly.

Any thoughts on the Yokohama Avid TRZ or the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H?

I appreciate your insights.

I believe the ones we used were Ecsta or something like that.
Some People prefered them over Michellins once they had them installed.
