The original tires on my 1970 TR6  were 185/15 Redlines ... I put on 
205/70-15s and the tire diameter was only 1/4 inch less ... FWIW ... 
Michelin Hydroedge Green, really stick, quiet and no rubbing.


>So, was the original tire for the TR6 an 82 or an 80? I've read information
>stating both. If it's the 80, then the perfect plus one sizing would be a
>225/60-16. From a review of the posts though, this size has interference
>problems. If it's the 82, then a 215/65-16 would be virtually an exact match
>diameter wise. I don't know if anyone has run that size, but it seems it
>might have interference problems as well.
