Currently, I drive around on Bridgestone S322's with size 175/65R14 82T(tube-type) and wish to switch to Bridgestone Potenza GIII's (tubeless).

I looked up the Bridgestone India website, and the GIII options I got were 185/60R14 82H and 195/60R14 86H. I went to several dealers, shopping around for prices, and the best I got was Rs. 3200 per Potenza tyre for both sizes, 185/65R14 and 185/60R14.
Now, 185/65R14 was not listed as one of the options on the Bridgestone India site, and when I called up the dealer, he told me that the reason behind it was that the 185/65R14 was imported by him and the others were imported by the Bridgestone company, and aside from that fact, no difference at all.
What would be my best bet between the two sizes, cause they both are priced the same.
Kindly advise.
