<VV> Tires for the 67

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Actually, no. The 205mm refers to the section width of the tire at its widest point on a specified rim width. This is the width typically at the middle of the sidewall. 

For 70 series tires, the tread width varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but usually it's around 85-90% of the section width. Here's some help:

The tread width will be the same 205cm.

Needing tires and still pondering what to do. Presently using  205/70/14s 
mounted on Camaro rally wheels. I'm considering changing to  205/75/14. This

change in profile would provide a slightly taller tire, with a  little 
narrower tread width. It's the wife's driver, and the narrower width  would
help 
a little in low speed turning situations. Has any one else used the  
205/75/14 size on a late model? Comments? Thanks...Mike Mauro
