Hello, I have a '79 242 DL that needs new tires. It has the B21, automatic transmission, and stock suspension.

Local tire place (Les Schwab) has two different sizes they recommended (both are all season):

185/70R-14

175/70R-14

Any thoughts on which one would be better for regular road use?

THANKS!
Mike in Portland
