Tires: do all four need to be changed/what are the diff's btw sizes? 95 850 wagon 850

First of all *thanks* to previous responses to my posts. I finally found a wagon to buy. It's not the turbo I wanted, but the engine is in great shape and it was a good buy. I'll slowly start posts re: improving performance, but for now I'm at the basics!!

The front tires are worn. It has Cooper Lifeliner Touring 205/60R15 tires. Costco has a $60 off Michelin tires and recommend replacing all four tires at once. They are expensive tires, so I was wondering what the pros/cons are for just replacing the front tires--or moving the rear to the front, and putting the new ones in the rear?

Also, Costco sizing recommends 195/60VR15 size. The Cooper tires online are half the Michelin price. I don't know where to get these Cooper tires--are they really much cheaper quality? If better tires dramatically improve the drive I'll go for it. Otherwise I'd rather spend the money on performance upgrades such as filters, etc.

Thanks,

Saskia

What is the difference between the 205/60 and the 195/60?
