I saw that OE on my car was 195/60/15, but my car has 205/60/15 on it. Is there a big dfifference? The 195 are about 20 cheaper a set so I'm curious to save a little money.

But how will that affect handling?

I'd guess most people(>90%) out there couldn't really tell the difference.

minimally.

I'd go with the 205's personally, but that's just me.
