Jake,
The German certification allows for the following tire sizes:
195/70
205/65
215/65
Of course, all this means is that these were the only tires that were tested
for compatibility by the engineering firm that issued the certificate.
Here in the "Land of the Free", we can mount any tire we want, regardless of
it's safety... ;-)
Cheers,
Jeff
