What I cannot figure out is what diameter the tire needs to be to peg the speedo and odo correctly. I have 24" and it reads a little low at Interstate speeds. Normally I think these read 3 mph high back in the days before GPS speedos (to cut down on tickets, I think). Mine is like 5 mph off. So I might change diameter. I think a 25" tire might correct this to some point.

I will look at 205/55R15 and maybe 205/60R15 tires, both of which are about 8" wide, but the 60 is 25" OD versus the 24" OD of the 55...

The Multi X is 15x7" (20mm offset) which is pretty uncommon for RWD bricks. Most that came with 15" rims used 6" with 25mm offset, I think.

Thanks for the information!
