In fact with that size, which I have used many times, the speedo is more exact! The original tire size and speedo combination seem to be about 3% high, but the 195's make it about perfect. 205/60s will also work fine. I have purchased many used tires, usually snows. For $150 you should do a careful check of tread depth. Tires start with about 11-12/ 32nds, and the last 2/32 are unusable. For that price (about60% of new,) you want to get at least 8/32 (12/32 - 2/32 = 10/32 x0.6 = 6/32, + 2/32= 8/32) of tread on all the tires all the way across. -- 84 242Ti IPD bars&springs, 89 745 16v M46 IPD bars, 89 744 16v M46 IPD bars, 90 745 AW70, 91 245SE AW70 IPD bars, 93 245 CLassic M47 Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
