195's are only 1/2 cm narrower!  I run D rated
195 Cooper's (actually Mastercraft RD's).
You'll thank yourself for having proper load
rated
tires instead of some swishy passenger tire with
insufficient load rating.  I'm a cheapskate and
I resisted this.  But the difference between the
superior handling of a vanagon or bus with load
rated tires (even cheap ones) versus
non-reinforced passenger tires (even expensive
ones) is dramatic.
