you're not going to miss much lateral grip with 195 or 205 unless you drive well above the posted speed limit on public roads.
ive driven my summer track tires well into november (until first snowfall) and city traction is more than adequate. Same thing for winter tires, i'm still on them! 205's and no problem with grip around town.
*yes i know i'm destroying the compound but the car will be sold soon,i have no summers, and these winters are on their 4th season*

I think we both agree 100% 7th gear. And have much of the same experience. And both basically give the same kind of advice.
I was just saying in my previous post that it is smart of him to buy winter tires even tough he is not driving much on snow. I got the impression that you said otherwise in your previous post. Most likely me misunderstanding..
