Would the 195/60r13 be better do to less sidewall flex?

 

I've heard that argument before, but I don't really believe it. I ran with 205/60/13 HTR200's for many years and they handled great, really didn't feel much flex. I would go with the wider ones if I were you

 

Wider better

 

205 on a 7" wide rim FTW.

 

make sure you actually check the specs on the tire. For example , the tread width on a 205 / 60 /Sumitomo HTR 200 is the same as a 195/55 BFG Traction TA ..... the number on the tire doesn't tell the whole story.

you can usually find all the specs on the tirerack site
