Does anyone here roll with 205s on their S70? OEM is 195/60 15...Looking at a set of Michelin PILOT EXALTO A/S.

Hi,
Just a general opinion. While wider tyres may give you more stability, it is generally not recommended for the following reasons:
1. Tyre rubbing against the wheel well.
2. Increased rolling resistance that affects fuel consumption.
3. May affect the suspension performance due to increased unsprung weight.
I hope this gives you some thoughts. Listen to others as well to get perspective.
