And of course, it is important to remember that the federal gvt required
the speedometer to be at least 3% fast during these years.  My van is
about 6% off.  I tested it with a GPS.  Indicated speed is 60, actual
speed is 56.  So a bit bigger tire would correct some of that error.
Not a reason to change but a nice side benefit if I wanted to.

I read all that I could when I needed tires.  I kept the 14 inch, but
did increase the width and height a bit.  Looks nicer, that was the only
reason.
