[Can't get Yokohama Y370G's in 195/70/14] Didn't see this one answered yet--hope my experience helps. The 205's will work fine. I ran studded 215 snow tires on the rear of my '72 bus every winter for a few years until someone stole them and their rims from my carport. (I'd regularly zip past stuck 4wd's on snowy roads on my way to/from skiing.) The tire guys (at Upeniek's Tire in Seattle) said the 215's were a little extreme, but 205's are fine. I found that they gave a springier, more forgiving-of-railroad-crossings ride than the 195's. Passengers often comment that they are surprised by the nice ride (and the nasty smells :) in my '72 bus. I guess it's the tires and the stock(!) 23 year old german shocks and springs. Dennis
