You can find some info on comparative diameters of 195R14 versus 205/70R14 here: http://www.busdepot.com/details/tires.jsp And a veru useful tire size calculator here: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html While there are slight variations from one tire of the "same" size to another, a 195R14 is approximately 1/2" taller and 1/3" narrower than a 205/70R14. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
