With my non-PAS Griff I've tried 205, 215 and 225 on the front 15" wheels.

For me
205 are the best
215 make it tramline like something on the front at Blackpool
225 are too heavy for a non-PAS at slow speeds.

I tried some 225's and you definitely notice the heaviness, it's now on 205's and much better. Was going to meet in the middle with 215's but the only ones I could find were Dunlops and I also heard about the tram-lining problems and it put me off.

I've got 225 front and 245 rears on my Chim 500, Estoril wheels , Toyos all round , yes it is heavy when parking but how much time do you spend parking ? Used to have 205 and 225 , the feels a lot more planted now and no other issues .
