" From: "John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

" My Hornet's original tire size is D70-14, 
" which roughly equals (correct me if I'm 
" wrong) P195/70-R14.
" 
" Now my understanding is 195 is millimeters
" of tread width, while 70 means 70% of the 
" treadwidth is the sidewall height, and 14 
" is naturally the wheel diamter in inches.
" 
" I'm looking to find out what is the near-
" equal size in width and height for a 15" 
" tire. Is P195/60-R15 the closest? And is
" 225/60-R15 too wide/tall for a stock Spirit 
" suspension to handle?

going by with others said, that 205/70r14 is the direct match --
# tire 205/70r14 215/60r15 235/55r15 255/50r15

i wish i could recall where i found 'tire'; it was on the pre-web
internet -many- [15?] years ago.
