  1. reduced choices of tire availability (22 vs 69 different models on tirerack)
  2. Conti DWS06 not avail in 265 (a favorite of those on the forum)
  3. less popular size = more difficult to find replacement urgently
  4. speedometer will read 1.4% slower than actual speed (in addition to any built in inaccuracy)

good luck!
