I have two questions regarding alternative tire sizes on a 1993 240 sedan and 1993 240 wagon.

Question No. 1: will a 205/70R/14 tire perform well on a 1993 240 wagon (standard tire size is 195/70R/14)?

Question No. 2: will a 195/70R/14 tire perform well on a 1993 240 sedan (standard tire size is 185/70R/14)?

I really like the bigger tire driving performance I get on the wagon tires, and am thinking this slight increase in size to the 205 size might even be better.

In similar fashion, I would like to use a little bigger tire on my sedan if going to the 195 size will improve the driving experience.

Thanks in advance for any input fellow bricksters are able to provide (I should really know the answer to these questions, as I've been driving 240s since 1976 (egad), but 240s are endlessly interesting, so there is always something new to learn about them).
