Is there a benefit to the larger tires?
I have always believed that smaller tires yielded better handling. But my 165s
on my 71BGT are old and close to bald. And I now found 165R14 tires to be rare
or nonexistent in my area (MT).
I may have to go to a 175 or even a 185 (gasp)
Should I worry? And what would a 195 do to my car in terms of handling?
I'm not worried about my speedo accuracy. Besides its still not
working.
