Winter Tyre sizes for a 2008 9-5 TiD Estate

[kprm77]

I have (or rather will have later next week) a Linear SE 1.9 TiD Estate. It has 16 inch alloys as standard as opposed to the 17's of the Vector Sport and Aero.

I've been onto mytyres.co.uk to look for tyres with wheels, and for my car they're giving the relevant size as "195/65 R15 91T". Does this sound about right? I'm guessing winter tyres are usually skinnier anyway..

For the older 9-5 2.2 TiD they quote for "205/65 R15 94T". Believe that car is heavier (120Kg heavier according to Parkers), so that may explain that.

Can anyone confirm if 195's will be okay for my car??

Now I've got the car, I've seen that the manual recommends 205/65 R15 94Q for winter tyres (for the TiD).
