Hello,
My 91 300D calls for 195/65-15 tires. Has anyone tried any other sizes?
Like 195/60-15 for instance? Or even 165/50(or 55)-15?
Just curious. I guess a case could be made for going to a smaller
size - like 185/65-15 perhaps?
The proper replacement for a 195/65x15 in a 60 series (to maintain the
correct speedometer calibration) would be a 205/60x15 (and I've tried
replacing a 185/65x15 with a 195/60x15 in a 201 series car). I've tried
these. They're fine on the highway, but the car feels "heavy" in
traffic. The 195/65x15 tire that Mercedes choose, really does make the
car handle optimally for the way I drive.
