Hi out there I'm looking for some advise.

I am in need of new tires for my pristene 1990 740GL base model.
The original tires as recommend on the door jam and in the owner's manual are:
185/65R/15

When I purchased the car, 2002 it came with new 195/65R/15 Michelin X tires. The tires have given me good service but have reached the point of replacement.
The car came with steele rims and I have recently aquired a nice set of "DRACO 5 spoke Rims"

Would you recommend , the 185 or 195's or something else.

I have always been a fan of Michelin tires and have experienced good service with the X line. Just looking for alternatives and costs and good experiences on other tires from the form.

I live in southern Ontario, Toronto area with a mix of highway and city use.

Thanks for your help.
John
