How well do these fit on the "stock" allow rims of a '90, that came
with 205s installed.
The 185s and 195s are narrower than the factory tires - any problems
associated with using them on this size rim?
Going in the opposite direction - how much clearance is there for
putting a 215 or 225 tire on the alloy rims?

Having destroyed one of my last MXTs on a curb a few weeks ago, I was
forced to get something that day, and opted for something cheap (89S
rated), just to keep rolling.  The squirreliness that usually
accompanies the non-reinforced sidewalls hasn't been apparent, but it
hasn't been loaded very much lately since then.  They don't do well
when I hit puddles on the freeway at 60mph.
