My information is that the 195's are a better fit, but less available and
harder to find. The 205's are easier to find, but do have some problems
depending on the specific tire. My 205 Yokohama's will scrape on a bad bump
on the front, but not the back. My other tires, sorry can't remember the
name, never scrape. The difference being the amount of bulge in the
sidewall.

Subject: tire size for TR6 - AGAIN!!
Am shopping for tires. My tire guy says that 195-65-15s are the best
for the car. Wasnt there discussion that this size had clearance
problems?? My recollection is 205-70-15s are the seze that people have
had the best luck with.
