It's time to start shopping for tires. Originals were 185R15 (26.5" diameter / 7.28" wide). Right now I just cannot justify the $380/tire price I am seeing for that size. What is the most appropriate modern size to use? It looks to me like 195/70R15 ( 25.8 / 7.68) or 205/70R15 (26.3 / 8.07) are the most likely. The 205 is the closer diameter but I have read going to a wider tire can affect steering and handling. Would adding 3/4" width really have any effect?
