It's time for new tires on my 88 745, and I will be upgrading from 14" to 15" wheels. What size tires should I get? The stock 185/65 seems kind of inadequate, as it is the size used on the Toyota Yaris---a 2200lb econobox, and no wider that the 185/70-14s that are on the car now. (which are not up to the task) I'm thinking maybe a 205/60-15 would be a good choice--20mm wider and about the same diameter as the stock size. I'm not that concerned if they are a little taller, as my speedometer is way off already, as a result of a rear axle swap, but I definitely don't want to go to a smaller diameter.

What size is everyone else running? Any thoughts?
