This is for a 2012 Honda Fit which came stock with 175/65R15 tires on a 15x5.5 steel wheel (with wheel covers, of course!)
I have since replaced the wheel with an alloy aftermarket wheel (Konig Helium 15x6.5 size) on those same tires.
I wonder if go wider promotes that feeling of 'stability'
The tires current on are Sumitomo P02 A/S in the category "Performance All Season" (rolling diameter 24", weight 17.9 pounds)
The tire I'm thinking about is the Continental TrueContact Tour 195/65R15 in the category "Standard All-Season" (rolling diameter 24.2", weight 16.7 lbs.)
----------------------
Addendum: What about steering, do wider tires increase steering radius (= more effort when steering?)
