195/65/15 is closer to the original stock tire profile than what most of us are running, so your speedo will be closer to accurate.
I can't remember what the radial equivalent to the original bias-ply size is. For some reason 185/70/15 comes to mind. The taller sidewall will also give you a more compliant ride, if that's what floats your boat. |

yep. i believe you will get a tab better mpg than the smaller series, 60/50/40. that size will be nice for a long range driver and if your fuch wheels are the real deal (check on the rear of the wheel for a fox head and/or the #914 361 011 01) they should fit nicely. take your center caps off yourself. the tire shop boys will more than likely drive them out with some huge implement, ruining them.
