A good P195-70 is aobut 60% the price. > TIA/Carron You may want to go with 185/65-15, which is closer in diameter to the stock 195/60-15 of the 900 turbo. This tire should be easier to find and cheaper than a 185/60-15. However, I would highly recommend avoiding the proposed 195/70-15 as this tire would be much to large in diameter, resulting in a relative speedometer error of -8%. It would probably rub also. -Doug
