195/60-14 or 205/60-14
Once and for all!
I am ordering the new tires this week for my newly refinished LE wheels (thanks again steve) and I have read a bunch of posts about which tire to run.
My confusion comes from the fact that the LE had 14" rims with the 195/60-14 as the stock tires and the GSL-SE had 205/60-14 as the stock tires as well.
Acording to the tire rotation program my speedo will be off 2 MPH at 60 if I go with the 205's vs my orig 185's.
I am not too concerned with the 2MPH as I am with rubbing....
Can anyone answer me who has LE rims with either tire on them.
And to the "threadjackers" please dont turn this into a "what color should I paint my brake calipers", or "send me pics". post or some other crap like that.
Thank you
Jason

i went with the 195 60 14's with my le wheels just because they were the stock size tire.
i wouldnt worry about 205's rubbing at all though. my se has 215's on it right now and they dont even rub.
