Howdy all...just a quick question about tires... I'm fixin' to get some new tires for my set of 240 turbo wheels and put them on my '72 164. I have a driveway that is really more like a jeep trail, so I want to get as much ground clearance as possible. Of course, I expect a 195/65-15 tire would work fine, but I was wondering if anyone has used a 195/75-15 on turbo wheels on a 140/160 series... (of course, no-one makes a 195/70). Or, perhaps a 185/75 would be a good choice as well...and give a little more fender clearance, but I don't kow if that would work well with a 6" rim.

The card currently has 14" 240 wheels with 185-75/14 snows, and there are no problems with those...even with chains on, but... just thought I'd see if anyone here could offer any insights.

Thanks,
Matt B
