Want new tyres for my Primera P11-144.

Manual says "Alloys: 195/60/15", "Steel: 185/65/15".

Of course, I got the odd situation, where there is one steel rim, and
four Alloys.

The tyres at the moment, are 185/65/15 and yet Im convinced that they're
the wrong tyres. And most Primera experts agree 195/60/15 is the way to
go. But what to do about the spare?

That's not odd, it's very common to have a car supplied with four alloys
and a steel spare when new.

The rolling radius of those two sizes is only a couple of mm different
(<1%) so I'd leave the spare on a 185, it'll work perfectly well for
long enough to get the alloy tyre fixed.
