I've talked to a tire dealer that I want 195/60-16 for the winter tires. He insisted on using 205/55 R16. He said: "195/60-16 size is considered for trucks in our system, I haven't seen anybody use it in a car." But it has an extra clearance (make the car a little higher) and I think it would be better on snow. I can't decide..

I'd say, decide first on what vendor/tire model you want, and then see available sizes for it. What tire it is matters more then one sizing up or down. For example narrowest hakkapeliita 8 was 205/55/16, but eg. Hakka 9 or R2 was also of 195/60/16. From popular ones like WS80 also narrowest is 205, X-iCE3 & X-ICE North 4 come as 195 too.

Got an email this morning that my Shwalbe 26x1.5 tires have shipped.
Dismantled the gearbox and de-greased everything after running it on Tri-Flo for 30 years. Everything is all buttoned up now. Just waiting on the tires and Continental tubes. Woot!
