Re: 1986 4000S, Tire choices

[tsal2@juno.com (Timothy C Salazar II)]

I've been running 205/60 HR14's on stock rims for years.  But that's the
extent of my knoweledge.  If you put on larger rims you can always try to
stay with the aspect ratio.  That way your speedo will be reading true. 
But I always refer to the other, more experienced Q-listers.  Just my two
bits.
