Pardon me for my ignorance. My Corolla has 195/60 R15 with only 13K run. Is it really advisable to change the tyre spec when I go for replacement. I know there are `recommended' size upgrades if you decide to do so. Also that the same model may be fit with different specs in different markets. For example, Corolla in India has 195/60 R15; but 185/65R 15, 195/65R15, 195/65R16 in US.

But it may also be true that if the specs are different in different markets for the same car model, the car maker would have adjusted the car body and mechanics for that sort of tyre spec., and changing tyre spec (on replacement) may not be really advisable (unless you are absolutely disgusted by the present spec, which I am not) unless the car is adjusted for a different spec than the standard, original fitment.
