I've been using 205-60-15s on My TR4 with Panas... no problem at
all for close to 5 years... If you don't mind a bit of speedo error.
Of course, the error is to the optimistic so you can't use it as a
dodge for a "heavy foot"
e.g. "Gee officer, my speedo sez I was nowhere near .5 of light
speed..."
