Has anyone gone up to 205/60 R15s on a plus 4 (mine is 2009 duratec) - slightly more sidewall and better grip (but less steering 'feel'?)

The clutch spring on the pedal was as far as I know reintroduced some time ago when it was found that the master cylinder return springs were varying in strength and as there was nowhere to rest your foot it was designed to enable the left foot to test on the clutch pedal when driving without riding the clutch and damaging the thrust bearing.

Following recommendations on TM, I have just fitted 5 new tyres to my Plus 4.
I have gone for 195/65 instead of the original 195/60.
An absolute no brainer:
The 65s, being a more popular size, were £24 per tyre cheaper than 60s, so a total saving of £120
I have now gained a valuable cm or so in ground clearance
No discernible change in acceleration etc and still plenty of clearance to chassis and BRBs
The speedo is now more accurate with about 1 mph above gps at 50 mph
Previously, I had bang-on weights but this time went for stick-ons on the inner rims and all seems good. (I have recorded the weights and positions in case any should fall off in the future)
My previous tyres were Good Year Efficient Grip Performance 2 which are top rated for wet grip. They have done just over 28k miles in almost 8 years, with 4 mm of tread left, and seem to work well, so that’s what I have used again.
As an aside, following another tip on TM, I tried “Dragons Breath” on my stainless rims and it worked a treat with no residual staining (unlike the Auto Glym stuff that I tried last year). Just spray on and leave to soak without drying, then blast off with the pressure washer.
