[urq] Tire size!

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

The 215/50 is 23.46 od, while the 205/60 is 24.69 od. The gives 1.22 dia. larger for the 205 but only .61 (~5/8 radius) difference. That is what I'm running for snows and haven't noticed too much speedo difference when I pass the roadside speed monitors. 
As I stated in a different response the 215 size is getting to be hard to find.

I have a question too...  Was the previous stock size 205/60-15?  I am
ooking for snow tires for my urq and am trying to match diameter with
15/50-15, which isn't easy.  There's a big difference in diameter between
15/50-15 and 205/60-15.  Well not huge, but noticeably on the speedo.  Did
hey change the speedo gearing when they changed stock tire size?
