Hi All; I'm replacing my Westy tires Sticking with the 14" tires because my snows are too good to stop using. I'm going to replace them with the Hankook RA18 (Vantra). I was looking at the 185's when I noticed they have a 195R14. They are just a half inch taller and a third inch wider and $14 more expensive. Does the list think it's wotth it? My speedo might read closer to correct and I would have a bit more clearance, but being retired and relatively broke, 4X$14 makes a difference. Better handling and/or stability would make a difference, but will I get it with that small a difference in tire size? Dave B. P.S. This is Not supposed to start another of the dreaded tire threads, please. |
