I'd like a larger contact patch. Of course I'd also like a stiffer sidewall than the current MXV4's that are on it currently. I hate those things, the only thing worse than their dry traction is their wet traction, sidewall roll is horrible too.

Anyhow, I was thinking 205's would be nice since I could maybe keep the same steelies and just get new tires, something I need pretty soon. I need tires mainly because I lack confidence in making road trips after my last road trip and I got a half flat, only good explanation so far I believe was Stefan's idea that maybe I got a nail in it. I haven't had time to inspect the tire thoroughly enough to verify, but it has held air heretofore.

Soooo....any good reason not to get 205? How bad would the bulge be on a 6.5" wheel? They're spec'd at running on 5.5-7.5" wheels, so 6.5 shouldn't be so bad eh?
