Hello all!
The time has come to replace the front nearside tyre on my 96 900S, and the offside isn't too far behind so I have decided to replace that at the same time. I have these wheels :
They are currently shod with 195/60R15 Goodyear Eagle NTC-5 all round, although I believe the rims are meant to have 185's on as standard.
So should I just replace the front two - if so, with exactly the same type again to try and keep the whole car matched?
Or should I just bite the bullet and see if I can get a favourable discount on getting the whole lot replaced?
If the latter, any personal recommendations on brand and model? It's no sports car and I don't really try and drive it as such, so I just want a good safe tyre (although I'm happy to sacrifice some longevity for decent grip)
Thanks for any help and advice!
Tim.

Thanks NCoT,
The only reason I was considering replacing all the tyres, was if somebody knew a reason why running 195s was bad, and that I should change back to the 185s it would have been shod with as standard.
If 195s are fine, then I shall probably take your suggestion
Thanks again.
