Yeah, if you could find 185s.
195-55-15s will be fine. Thats what I'm on now, and thats what a tire shop will usually recommend now adays.

If you're gonna slide, you're gonna slide, an extra 1/2" of tire isn't going to help you that much if you go with a 195 or 205.

You'd be surprised when you take into consideration how much more psi you are putting on each tire with each downsize of a tire. Not to mention the fact that 185's are probably cheaper than a 205.
