I ran 185/70s most of the time, but now it has 195/60s. In the "famous"
picture on my site with the Seattle skyline in the background, it has
185/60s.
Even with the 185/70s the clearance was very close. It depended on which
brand of tire it was - probably differences in the shape of the shoulder. So
a 195/70 would definitely have clearance problems.
