I really like my potenza re7.. somethings. I forget the last digits. Yes, 205 width makes the steering feel a bit heavier. But I used to spin 195/60 bfg touring t/a's too much so I went to 205/55. These potenzas are highly rated in every aspect and have a high treadwear rating. I'm very surprised at how much tread is left on them for a Z rated tire. Since my original tires weren't high performance I can't say the increase in traction, etc. is due only to increased size. Maybe if you bought some other high performance tire in 195 it would be (almost) as good. I'll give these potenzas a++ in everything except slight road noise.
