Ralph,
I wouldn't know the hot street tires at the moment, but for sizes
I think on a stock -4 you are probably going to be able to fit 205,
if not, then 195. For keeping a similar diameter for speedo, you
would pick 205/60 or 195/65. For better performance and lower
diameter, which will up your highway RPM and change your
speedo reading, you can do 205/55 or 205/50.
