[Shotimes] tire sizes

[Paul L Fisher]

Yep! I believe the standard size was 215-65-16 on my '93. I put 225-60-16's
on and they are a tiny bit bigger around.

That makes sense. The tires on my car were
225-60R-16's when I bought it, so I just replaced them
with the same size. Haven't had problems with the
"nice" Policemen and women...yet. The campus
Fun-police are another story...
