205/70R14's on W123 vs 195/70R14
I have stock W123 14" bundts. Need new tires.
Toying between the stock 195/70R14s or wider 205/70R14's. These will be all season - but I do put on winter tires when it snows. Will I need spacers or any other stuff? Any advice between the two? Thanks!

14" Bundts came in either 6x14 or 6.5x14. Thou both would have no issues if you so decide to mount 205/70 tires, I believe the later rim size would be best with 205/70 while 195/70 for a 6x14

Ran some 205/70s on steel rim 6x14 for couple years just fine, nice ride till one bubbled and blew out a belt (no longer buying used tires;(

I believe, that 195/70 is better for 123, than 205/70.

Besides, the wider the tires/rims are, the heavier each turn would be (added stress to steering and driver)
