1999 Contour SVT. Tirerack.com is recommending 195/65/R15 Blizzak tires (and new steel rims) for this vehicle. A local joint is cautioning me against installing this on a performance vehicle that has brakes/suspension tuned for a particular size rim/tire. They are recommending Blizzaks, but more properly sized. What are the braking and handling implications of using the different sizes? Are there significant benefits to using the different size?
