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.
