Re: tire advice please



Bill,
If the 215s are larger diameter it will change the speedometer input, they will cost more, should stick and ride and brake better.

Hi Gary, I have looked at the Discount site. My car is a '65 Satellite. Currently has 205/75r14's. The service manual specs say "standard" 195's and "special" 205 and 215's. Do you think there would be any noticeable difference in handling or feel with the 215's.

Discount has a visual conversion utility where you can plug in the tire size now and proposed and new and see the
difference. It also shows the speedometer variance that results.

Forgot what year yours is, but I assume you have 205/14. This calculator claims 215/75 14 is the only option for a 1965
Dodge B for example.
