Hi all,

Just some specs on tire diameters:

175SR13 - 23.94  Tread width - 5.0
185/70sr13 - 23.74 Tread width - 5.7
195/70sr13 - 24.10 Tread width - 6.1
205/60hr13 - 22.70 Tread width - 6.9

195/70hr14 - 23.20 Tread width - 6.5

All these and many, many more can be found at:

www.rogerkrausracing.com 

These are in inches.  As you can see, a lot of difference.  I have 
the 3 litre V6 steel chassis and recently put on 195/70HR13 tires.  I 
liked the size being closer to original.  I have the original wheels 
also.  Mark Petrinovich (3 litre Volvo) also put on the same tires I 
have.  I'm quite happy with mine.  I'll put a pic of mine with the 
tires in the "photo" section tomorrow.
