Winter tyres - can I have some advice?
My car presently runs as standard on 205/55/r16 summer tyres on 6.5j alloys. I've been offered a set of 15 inch 6.5 j steel rims. Will fitting 205/60/r15 winter tyres keep the same rolling radius and how will increasing the aspect ratio affect the handling of the car?

No. The 60s are noticeably deeper profile.

Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
