I agree: Dunlop Fast Response are excellent, 4 of them on my 25.
TBH Goodyear & Dunlop are coming from the same owner...

Regarding differences perceptible between 195 & 205, I'm very doubtful.
Likely a bit of placebo effect...
Like those fitting tuned induction & tuned back box who think that bigger noise means better performance...
The point is not a theoretical question of a few mm that should give more grip, but what those extra mm actually do give in the real life...
