Did you check both sides of the tires for the codes?
Otherwise, my main issue with going to 65s is how much the smaller diameter will increase engine revs and reduce fuel economy at highway speeds, as well as create some speedometer error.
I just mounted a new set of 195-70R14 Michelins on my spare set of bundt-rims. They're eventually going to replace the oversize 205-70/14 Firestones that came with my '82 240D. I'm wondering myself how the Michelins will perform. Though they are supposedly the correct size, they're more than an inch smaller diameter than the Firestones.
Happy Motoring, Mark
