I have 205/65-15 on my car, and I think they look great. Bridgestone
Potenza RE930. Great tire. Got them from the Tire Rack. These tires
have a slightly smaller overall diameter than the stock tires, so your
speedo will be a tiny bit inaccurate (but how accurate is a 30 year old
TR6 speedo anyway!). You can get much "sportier" rubber in the
205/65-15 size. 205/70-15 is best for being closest to the stock
overall diameter, but 205/65/15 looks nice and gives you access to some
more aggressive rubber.
