Re: 205-75 15 tires

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to Goodyear Gary the approved rim width for a 205/75x15 is 5" to 
7" with a recommended rim of 5.5".  If you go with a 215/70x15 you will 
still have about the same 27" diameter as the 205/75 and the factory 14" 
tires but with more tread. The approved rim width for the 215/70 is 5.5" to 
7.5" with a recommended rim of 6.5" so they'll fit your 7" rims better too. 
I also noticed that there is a better selection of tires in the 215/70 size 
too, at least in the Goodyear line.
