But 5k is a lot heavier.  Remember 195 is stock on the 4kq.
I have 195/65R15 on my 86 5kcsq had 215/65R15 on the 200q20v.
Both Yokohama Guardex.  The 195s do not work well dry/wet, good
in snow.  The 215s on the 200 (even heavier car) were similar in
snow, _a lot better_ dry/wet.  I'd go for 205s on a 5kcsq.

Orin.
