The 205/60r15 is going to be 10mm wider and about 3.2% larger in overall circumference. The 205/60r15 will definitely give you better dry traction but in the snow the 195/60r15 will do better. I would make sure you check with the dealership first if your vehicle is equip with anti-lock braking do to the fact that any tire over 3% larger in overall circumference then what came stock on vehicle your anti-lock braking system might not work because the vehicle computer will not recognize the tire size.

it will help a very small amout. it really depends on hat tire you put on the wheel. honestly if your new wheels are 15x7 id go with a 195/60 or a 205/60 but your handeling has nothing to do with tires if your still runnin the same size wheel as stock.
it matter what style of tred and tredwear your tire that you put on is..

It may, but it will be a slight change. you are only foing 3/8 of an inch wider in tire, so it is not like you are really increasing much.
