Eeeek!  I'm embarrassed to bring up a tire question....

Hankook makes a 185R14 tire and a 195R14 tire.  Both are
substantial enuf for Vanagons:  102 and 106 LI.  Both fit
on stock 14" steel wheel; maybe I'm the only one left using
those.

The 195 is 2.7% taller (diameter) and 2.8% less in revs/
mile.  But it is 7.8% wider.

I'm thinking that 2.7-2.8% isn't much, but I'd like that
7.8% wider.  (I'm not worrying about my speedo, which
reads too far under for the 195 to correct!)

Does anyone have direct experience and can offer comments
or opinions about this?  Pmail me and I'll summarize.
