When i went looking for snow tires for the boy's SD it was quite a challenge to find some to fit whatever was on the car now. I forget the size, we had a thread about which ones to get. I think it is hard to find the original size now, some tire guy was telling me about that. I think they were 195s, now the std is 205 maybe? Or it could be like yours, bigger. I'll have to go back and look.
