If you were a registered user, you would not be seeing this!

I was reading that the tire size for my lebaron should be 195/70 -14 , what is actully on there is 205/60-14's

Trying to figure out why, & if it would affect it anyway, besides making the speed slighty off ?

you think they get mixed up with the 15 inch version?

using http://www.miata.net...e/tirecalc.html it says the speedometer reading will be 4.3% too fast, when your speedo reads 60 mph you're actually traveling 57.4 mph.

Probably thought that it would improve handling.

Sometimes the larger tire size is cheaper or the original size isn't in stock. Lots of odd things happen.

It was cheaper by about $12 per tire for me to put 215-70-15 tires on my Fifth Avenue than the factory installed 205-75-15, same brand of tires.
