It has 15 inch steel wheels (from a 740 I think) on it now, and I also have an extra set of 14 inch steel wheels. No matter what happens, it will need tires fairly soon, but not right away. I'm not concerned about snow because in the winter it will wear 14 inch wheels with Gislaved snows. So, I have a choice between 14 inch and 15 inch wheels, and then tire size. I'm looking for the "best" compromise among all the issues involved, so that the wheel/tire size it gets will do everything (ride quality, handling, etc.) quite well, but nothing extreme. I'm not too concerned about speedo error because that can be adjusted for. Car will be used as a daily driver, mostly around town with some highway driving. Thanks in advance for your thoughts which I value. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

Speedo error is about 5mph fast, but since it's still 5mph fast with the stock 185/70-14 tires, tire size ain't the problem. Putting 205s on there... meh. seems like it'd make the handling a little more mushy. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
