Didn't get a very good response. I went ahead with the 185/75/14's and really
like the way they look. They are pretty tall and fill up the front wheel well
but I think it gives it a calssic look. Only clearance issue is when at wheel
lock the front tires look pretty close to the tie-rod. It's curled at that
point so it looks like its supposed to be that way.
One respondent seemed to think 185/70's were the way to go and said he used
185/60's.
Try asking again and see what you come up with.
BTW, I got a set of Sigma (Cooper) Paramounts which are a 100,000 mile tire for
31.99 from Tire Kingdom.
