TYRE SIZE CHANGE

Hi all,
new member here. Need your input please.
My Polo is a 2013 1.2 TSI 105hp DSG.

It's fitted with 185/60r15 tyres and I am about to get a new set. I am thinking of going with 195/60r15 which are 2% larger in diameter & circumference.

The main reason I am considering this change is to improve ride quality.

Has anyone else tried this? Looking to get some feedback prior to pulling the trigger.

Thank you all in advance.

Have you first tried dropping the tyre pressures say 4 PSI? That should improve ride comfort. In warm Cyprus especially the tyres will heat up and pressures will increase as car is driven.
