Need to put new rubber on a '95 525iT. It's had 225/60/15's on it. But the selection of tires in that size is virtually non-existent anymore.

How much different is running the 205/65/15 size vs. 225/60/15's?

Thinking of putting Pilot Exalto's on it. It has BFG Traction T/A's on it now which were nice tires. But they no longer make 'em in that size. Would probably go with the BFG Advantage T/A's but the PE's are on sale at the moment which puts them at virtually the same price as the BFG's and I've heard the PE's are very nice tires.

This car doesn't get cornered hard (it's a DD munchkin wagon now) so I'm thinking that going to narrower tires won't be detrimental. In fact it might be a good thing as far as hydroplaning & snow traction are concerned.

But it'd still be nice to know what the differences are from someone that's had both sizes on their E34...
