Pirelli P6

Just installed last week, took it for a ride this evening for about 140km. Car felt heavier & noisier. 195/55/15 to replace the stock 185/60/15. Any feedbacks?

Wet & dry handling? Read in some reviews and feedback was mixed, with the majority

i went from 195/55/15's to 185/65/14's last year and thought the opposite. the taller skinnier 14's seamed really squirrelly for the first couple weeks- easier to get blown by crosswinds. i miss the planted feel of the 195/55s. i just didn't want to risk curbing my enkei rpf1's [again] while using the car for work. i will save them for when the car's purpose is play.

think 60 series should be sufficient.
