Re: tire size help
175/70-14 would go good on a stock wheel.

Agree with Mark
The 70's ride nice too, bit less harsh than the lower profiles.
Someone gave me some good tire advice I'll pass on.
If the car is a "sunday driver" and not really cornered hard, don't buy expensive tires. At a few thousand miles a year, they will dryrot long before they wear out. The "4 for $99.00" promo specials may be perfect.
I used 185/60's on 14x6 wheels, the 175/70,s look good on stockers.
