Carron, Generally if you are not changing rim diameter, you drop 10 in size for every 5 in profile to keep roughly the same circumference. For example a 195/60-15 is roughly equivalent to a 205/55-15 if your going up or a 185/65-15 if you are going down. This would imply a 175/70-15 is rought equivalent. Although that seems like an awfullyl small tire and may not have the appropriate load rating for your applicaion. StepHydro wrote: > The talk about tires has been very informative.
