I have 195 tyres on 15'' rims just wondering if they would safely fit 205's on 15'' rims.
The 195's have nitrogen in the tyres is this safe to let go into the atmosphere.

The main reason for using nitrogen in tyres, is that it has 0% water content. You could achieve the same thing with dried air, but bottled nitrogen is more convenient.
If you just use compressed air, as most do, its water content (relative |
