I'd counsel you to consider going with a taller tire sidewall. The suspensi=
on geometry on these cars were never designed to accommodate lower profile =
tires. I had 55 series tires on my car but, the steering constantly "hunted=
" on bumpy and grooved road surfaces. It was a handful to drive and not muc=
h fun. I changed to a taller profile 205/65x15 tire (I also had 15x6 Panasp=
orts) and the improvement was noticeable. Had it been available I would hav=
e opted for a 70 series sidewall.
As was previously stated, old tires, regardless of the mileage, should be r=
eplaced in a timely manner. It's part of maintaining a car.
