Is anyone using the Carat alloy with 195R14 tires and if so, what is your
experience with them?

I presently have the Hankook RA08 185R14 mounted on the alloys and am
either going to replace with the same tire in the same size or the same
tire in 195R14 and am looking for real life experience pros and cons.

Every tire I have had on the van to this point has had an OD of 25.6 but
the 195R14 would increase that to 26.3.  I do realize the larger OD
changes the accuracy of the speedometer but that does not bother me.  Also
the Tread Width would increase from 5.1 to 5.5    One advantage I see for
the 195R14 is that the Tread Depth increases to 12.5 from 11.5.

We have a Westy with the original 2.1 engine and use the van for long trips.

Thanks,

Harold
