Default 185/70/15 tyre change

Changed my es tyres to 195/65/15 yokohama nearly 2 years ago and the car seems to drive much better with better road holding and I have not noticed any problems with heavy steering. The speedo will be slightly out but as I had changed my gearbox drive cog for one with different teeth because I could not get an original several years earlier my speedo is now spot on again.
The other advantage is the tyres will be much cheaper.
If you do change to wider tyres make sure you inform your insurance company as mine made a note of this on my policy.
