Re: [AMC-list] Tires For My Matador.

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd expect the radial equivalent will be 195/75-14. 
If you want to get rally fancy, check the number of teeth on the speedometer
driven gear - on the end of the speedo cable at the transmission. That'll tell
you the number of revolutions per mile the tire should have. Width is then up to
you.
