Hi all,
Sorry to put up another tire thread, but with the large number of variables in tire buying that fly around I want to try to get things straight in my head to make the right choice. I've read plenty of threads which have been helpful, but still have some questions.

'93 245 needs new tires, especially as bad weather will not be far off. Winters in KY are pretty tame so all season tires should do me well. M+S rating correct?

Stock tire size was 185R14 which I understand to be equivalent to 195/75/14. (Although I read some threads saying 195/70/14- 75 is the correct one, no?)

Currently on the car are 205/70/R14, which, when I do the math, gives a sidewall height of 143.5mm. A 195/75/R14 has sidewall height of 146.25mm, so that difference is negligible and probably close enough to stock spec. So the question on that is:

What handling differences (if any) are there between 205/70 and 195/75? Any diff in mpg (always hopeful)? Are these 2 sizes the best choices?

Once I know what size I need/would prefer- which tires are people enjoying? I have read posts with good thoughts on michelin and yokohama, but am curious as to what the options are and how the favorite tire from 6 months ago is performing these days. I'm looking for something with decent longevity, reasonable price, etc etc.

Thanks for reading and for any help!
God Bless
