I like the 185/65/15 too although I don't have any fitted. Planned for a 2 door with 4.10 axle and OD. They do lower the gearing a bit which isn't something you want to do with a wagon, it's too low already. Even with overdrive it only gets approximately the same top gear as a saloon with a 4.10 axle. If you don't mind the big and little look, a pair of 185/15's on the rear with 165/15 fronts, helps the cruising a bit. Doesn't help with sporty driving if that's the way you travel. 185's all round does give a wagon a chunky look but your springs, shocks, and bushings need to be good to cope with the extra weight of wheels and tyres.
