The sidewall height of the 185-70's is going to be (theoretically) about 5%
more than the 205-60's. So that will get you a little more compliance. The
bigger difference, if any, will come from differences in the tire
construction. Are the 205's you have performance oriented? If so, then going
to a street-type tire will help.
I found a large difference in ride quality from removing the traction masters
and going to Dan Walters' torque arm; and from changing the front swaybar to
have proper bearing blocks and attaching them to the control arm only at the
outboard ends. The stock suspension flexes the swaybar even on normal bump and
rebound, and that and the friction in the OEM swaybar mounts makes the front
suspension harsh.
I'm also running 205/45-16 tires, and 450 pound per inch front springs. CAT
springs and Koni's in the rear.
