Taking corners in 3rd are so much fun. If your car is earlier than a 68, the
rear wheel wells
aren't flared enough to handle 195s. We're running 185/70R14s on the Beast.
My opinion everyone, don't get ticked off now. I'm a Red Head. I insert my
foot at least
once a year like clockwork. Some of you might agree with that assessment.
Oh, Datsunmike. Paul agrees. Touchi.
Safe Roadstering

My car came from the PO with 175/14 Kelly Springfields. The wear is very
good and they squeal just after my wife begins to. The front tires squeal
when trying to teach a teenager how to drive standard and the extra pedal
confuses him but he goes for the turn anyway....without finding the brake
pedal.....
Sometimes in a good corner with bump in road, the rear tires scrape in the
wheel wells, would the 195s be too big on the rear? ( the rear springs have
been recurved, so its not worn out springs..)
