it probably reads high anyway. But at least you'll be going slower than indicated.
But I think a 15" wheel/tire is better for winter. You get more sidewall height for potholes and going narrower is better for snow traction.
I have 205/60 x 15 snows on my '96 CSE (came with the car) and this works well. They did fine on a four hour run through NY-MA-NH in a blizzard on marginally plowed rural roads last winter. Still, when I replace them I will probably go to 195s. You can't have too much traction in winter conditions.
And that said, I just put 195/60 x 15 Nokians on my daughter's '95 CS this morning.
