I have an 86 Grand Prix with the original turbo style rims. I am unsure of their width I will have to look into that. The original size is 195/75/R14.
Currently I have T/A radials that are 205/70R14. I want something just a little wider and thought I would get 205/60/R14. Now a mechanic was telling me to get 215/70R14. His explanation is that they are a little taller but will spread the side wall out due to rim width and be a little wider and the higth will come down due to the tire spreading the sidwall. Hope that didn't confuse you. I want to get it right what do you think?
