Tire size must it be exact? 185 or 195 60 or 65? 1990 740 700 1990



Spending money to mount and balance used tires is a bit of a waste, in my opinion. Plus, either way you're disposing of old tires. The tire/road interface is just about the most important thing with a car. Of course, good used tires may trump low-end new tires, so that may change the equation.

Granted, finances ultimately dictate what you do, but if you can afford to put good new tires on, it's worth it in the long run. We're needing to do the same with our '87 240. I'd like to cheap out since it's a dog hauler, but since we're likely to be driving 240's for a while, we'll get the full life out of them.
