experience with tire size changes?

The recommended tire size for my Morgan +8 is 185-70 HR 15. The selection of 195-70 tires seems much better. Anyone have an opinion or experience with moving up to the 195s?

No experience with Morgans (I wish!) but, almost all of us have made these kinds of decisions for price or availability reasons. I can't see why you wouldn't. There are various comparison calculators on the interweb if you want to be sure, but, it seems like a less than 3% difference all around.
