an interesting side note... the Contact patch of the tire in this size range(185R-14 to 205/70R-14) remains constant... you go to a "wider" tire the contact patch is wider from side to side, but shorter front to back. This in turn gives you more resistance to side loads (handling "feels" more precise...) Learned this interesting little fact at a Michelin Tire school... JonR
