It probably isn't a big deal, but thought I'd solicit opinions from the masses. Amongst everything else I've done with my car recently, it also needs new tires. The manual calls for 195/65-R14 as the recommended tire, however, that width is becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Would a 185/65/14 tire handle that much more poorly due to a few centimeters less rubber on the road, or would it really make that much difference? Also, snow tires seem to be next to impossible to find in 195 width.
