Peugeot did the same thing with the 14" mag wheeled 405. The best sizes are 195/65R14
or 205/60R14 but they came with 195/60R14s. Looked too small in the wheel wells
and made the speedo and odo read too high.

wait a sec. Why would peugeot recommend a 195/60 (not 195/65) and
205/60 to both work.. especially if the speedo is going to be off
with 195/60's!?! ...or am i misunderstanding.
