The 205's offer a slightly wider contact patch which results in a bit more grip at the extreme limit.

If they are just for winter get the 195's. But if your planning on using them in the summer to I guess I'd go with the 205's.

195 are better for the snow. The wider the tire the worse it is in the snow.
