Is anyone else running 195's after having standard size 185's on their 8v 15"s?

Tramlining is starting to get on my wick ....with the cold air temps at the moment it's reducing the pressure in the tyre which means I need to keep pumping them up to approx 35psi to get a decent feel from them. I don't fancy pumping the tyres up anymore, OR should I? Steering is more sturdy, but overall, a vague feel when cornering, was much sharper turning in with 185's.

Could be to do with the tread pattern on this specific tyre, the GSD3 F1's. In another 2k miles or so, I'll be buying a pair of GSD3's in 185 format for the fronts, and keep the 195's on the rears.

Just wondering if anyone else has experimented and found similar issues and not been totally convinced by running a slightly fatter profile on same rims.
 
mmm, i've been running on 195 toyo proxies t1-r's for about 2 months and not noticed any tram-lining. then again, i've not been checking the tyre pressure either. what i have noticed is the greater grim levels+higher conering speeds achievable.
