can I put 195/75/R14 on the rear of my '80 sd?
I found some cheap good tires and figured it would up my gas mileage some
but not sure if it's gonna touch anything on speedbumps or so thanks for all input people! |

this belongs in wheels/tires, but would only be running a top michelin or equivalent if it were me.
the 14" wheel is WAY undersized for the chassis, downright scary on the highway at times, even with the suspension/steering in proper shape. Last edited by rudolfgreen; 11-16-2006 at 09:35 PM. |

tires
I run 205 75R 14s and I don't have any trouble with them hitting anything (1980 300sd). I think that is about the largest you will want to go with the 14 inch rims....
I agree with the previous post that the 14s are too small for the car. The tires you have should be great.

I put a set of firestones on all four. I keep my back pressure at 36 and my front at 32. It has seemed to do well for me.
