Gordon,
This tire discussion has been extremely helpful. One of the things I haven't
seen discussed is what wheel size you are using. Is that a valid question? I
have some 165/SR14's that I need to replace on 6" (outside-width) aluminum
wheels. Is that what everybody else is running? Is it really OK to run a
185/65/14 on a 6" wheel, probably 5.75" inside-width at the bead edge? It
seems wide to me, but I'm really in the dark about this stuff.
Thanks.
