New wheels and tire size?? 120-130

Ok,,

this is my experience with Amazon wheels/tires. Right now I own a '65 with original 15x4" steel wheels with new Thunderer Mach1 165/80 15 tires and the steering is a breeze.

I recently bought a '64 with 15x6" steel Mopar wheels with Falken 195/65 15 tires and the steering is extremely heavy when driving slow into a parking lot and also parallel parking is a chore. I even put 32/34 lbs into tires and no improvement.

I'm about to buy some 15x5.5" Minilights design and put 185/65 15 tires (thinking Pirelli P4). Does anybody have any experience with this set up (185/65)? I hope that with the thinner 5.5" plus 185 the steering will be lighter.

Any input will help me sort out this dilemma.
