Why not try one size wider?

Your car will be a much "better" car what handling concerns.

I'm trying not to change the rims (that are only 5J large) and maybe go for a 185/55/16 (diameter = -1.05%).

195/55/16 would be also fine but on a rim that would be at least a 5.5J large... so it means I would have to buy new ones.

i'am currently in a mountain region and will have to do with a lot of snow this winter... so I don't want too large tyres for the moment anyway.

Try some 185's (This winter?) and feel the difference with the originals..............

I have updated the first message.

My front tires are close to the end and I decided to try 4 Hankook K415. I'll keep the actual back tires in my garage in case of emergency (as our tire must be ordered, nobody have them in stock).

I just maid the order and should receive them in one week.

I'll let you know if I'm happy with them.

My front B250 tires have been lasting 23000/24000 km.
