    Looking for new tyres but when I search by car reg it says I should be on 195/65/15/v91 but the car has 205/60/15/v91 on it.
    All four were fitted when I got the car with 23K on it.

    So should I go for 195's or stick with 205's

    Also how much difference will the larger rolling radius make to mpg?

    they are so close as to not make any difference. i run the 205's on my audi 80, but have the 195's for winters use. both sizes are an option on mine, its just that 195's being narrower are better in snow and there is more choice and they are cheaper.
    go with whatever your heart tells you to, but also check out the tyre size sticker often lurking behind the fuel filler flap.

    if its there, or somewhere else, you will probaly find that both sizes were originally fitted from the factory, as in my case.
