<VV> Tire size (revisited)

[James Davis]

The 195/70-14 shouldn't be fitted on a rim any wider than 6.5 
inches.  I have Pirelli P400 on the Corsa in 195/70-14 on 6 inch wide 
rims and Yoko AVID T4 on the Monza also in the 195/70-14 size.  I 
like Yokomahas better -  quieter, better wet traction, smoother ride 
(imho ;-) ).
