So tire selection can depend on wheel choice and body accuracy. 195/60/14's
are great on my 70 and my choice for the freeway. 185/60/14's lower ratio
gives quicker starts. my autocross tires, Kuhmo Victoracer 195/55/14's are
even smaller than the 185's. I really feel those!

Subject: Re: tire question
I know that Calspeed recommends going up to 195/60 X
14, but I would try a pair on the rear, at speed over
bumps first if you can. I found that my rear wells
were off center (rear end or body, I,m not sure), and
I got a rub on one side. Attempted to move the body
over with limited success (about 1/8 - 1/4", but it
was not easy. Wish I had used 185's, but it was too
late. Just my experience, YMMV,
