You know what I recently changed to 195s from 165s on my 142 and I would swear the steering at low speed is lighter. I know it doesn't make sense. I got the tyres with the very jazzy name: Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and not had any issues. Just did a 1000m round trip to England in wet and dry conditions and no issues. I normally just drive at a leisurely pace but occasionally give it a bit round corners or roundabouts and the tyres stick to the road well.
