Okay, here's an opportunity to expound on tire sizes! For general 
cruising, no auto-x or other aggressive driving, which tire size would 
be more appropriate, 205/70R15 or 205/75R15?  I currently have 195/75R15 
Michelins mounted, one of which was destroyed by road debris and my 
spare is a God only knows how old Michelin red line, so I am planning on 
5 new 'uns. Any clearance issues with either size? Would general 
handling qualities be better with the 75 than the 70?

Thanks, as always, for the good advice!
