Tire question 200

I've got a 88 245, with the sunburst alloy wheels and have a friend with 195 70 r 14 tires, and am wondering whether these might work on the car. I did a general search of the board, but figure a direct question might lead to more specific answers,
Thanks in advance.

    "Sunburst" wheels - do you mean Coronas? Look here: http://home.blarg.net/~volvo242gt/wheels.html

    195/70-14 will fit just fine, and usually the load rating is the same as the OEM 185R-14.

      I'm running 195-75 R-14 tires on my coronas (1985 Wagon)and according to my GPS, they are just about on the money.

        swapped out the 185's for 195's on my sedan. Same deal the speedometer is real close to the GPS now.

        Me too. Just put a set of Yoko Avid Touring S in that size on the Coronas on Mrs. B's wagon.

          Good tire. I ran a few sets of those on the '88 and '91 back in CT... decent handling and feedback, and good wear by my standards (40K+).
