    Bigger rubber means more grip....

    I like grip so I like 195/65s.

    wide tyres on rims not designed for them can cause extra tyre roll I think. Gor for a either a 165 or 175 and 75/13

    pretty sure stock sprinters come with 185 70R13 in aus..

    lower profile 185 would be the go i think

    though some 185 60R14s on 14" toyota rims is good and cheap!
