Brian, et.al.: just so no one is confused here, the original (optional) 
Michelin 185 R 15 tire diameter, according to the Coker Tire web site, is 
26.5", NOT 25.4"! And a quick scan of 205/70 15's at the Tire Rack shows indeed 
that most of them run between 26.3" and 26.5" in diameter. That's probably 
about as close as one could get!
