Default 185x55/16 vs 195x55/16 tire choice

Hello

I have a stock accord wagon with the original steel 15 inch wheels which are currently 195/60/15. A real pokey car. But its ok.

Shortly there will be a 16 inch wheel purchase. The 16s are . 5 wider and the lower profile of a 55 is elected to keep the suspension and fuel economy intact ( 25 mpg isn't that great). As this is the 4cylinder the goal is not to
to make a big appearance change, so am ruling out the 17s (17 in wheels don't come in the 185 or 195 widths . No, am not going with the 205 size as off the line pick up , fuel economy and passing is significantly decreased.

So it comes down to the narrower 185s or slightly wider 195s.

What is your experience with the 16s and these sizes?



Thanks
H2
