I'm going to be replacing the +10 year old 165R15 tires on my low mileage '74 2.0L soon and I'm debating between these two Sprint Classic sizes from Vredestein.
165HR15 185/70HR15 Will I see any real difference in the performance and road feel between these two? Attached image(s)

I had Vredestein 185/70HR-15s on my -6 stock 'steelies' years ago. Performed fine and I was driving the car more back then. Only reason I replaced them was they started to crack in the sidewalls after 15+ years. Have Yokohama now, but they are 20+ years old. Still look almost new though (maybe 1500 miles on them...)
