195/60/15 Winters on 190E 2.3L?

A friend has a set of Michelin Arctic Alpins in 195/60/15. at a good price.I need 2 for the front (putting them on the stock alloy wheels), but 185/65/15 is the correct size. Will this make any noticeable difference?

The 195/65-15 is a common fit for the 190E cars. It's a bit taller than the 185/65-15, but still fits nicely. I had that size on all my 190E's, save for the 16V.

The 185/65-15 is 621mm in diameter. The 195/60-15 is 615mm in diameter. The 195/60 will be a smidgen shorter (6mm or .24").

The 195/65-15 is 635mm tall, which is 14mm taller than the 185/65-15.

The 195/60-15 will work nicely, and the Arctic Alpin is a good choice of tire for the 190E.

BTW, put all four on. Having the set will provide the best results, and whatever you do, don't put on just two snow tires.
