I have 205/70's and the yokohama'a on the back scrape the wheel wells if I
put on the front, but the cheapos on the front never scrape. I have a guy
who balances tires on the car, and he is convinced 195/75's will be a better
fit.

Here's a neat site http://powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi It won't help on brand
selection but it's great for seeing the impact of size on speedometer. You
enter in the original tire size (185/80-15) and other sizes you're
considering and it returns the % difference from original. Now at least
you'll know if your speedo is high or low.

Subject: Tires for the TR6
I am looking for tires for my 1975 TR6. I do not want to put Michelin
Redlines on the car for many reasons. What are other choices, the emphasis
being on safety and handling? The size is also a problem. I have wire wheels
and CAN get 185/15 tires, but for $160 a pop. I was told 205/70 is another
viable tire, good performance, and cheaper. Also more readily available.
They are supposed to fit on the wheels and will work on the car. HELP,
please!!!
