    I will have to buy summer tires for my 1989
    855 diesel station wagon in spring. Permitted dimensions in this country are on
    15 inch wheels (which I think I have) 195/60 185/65 205/55 or on 16 inch wheels
    205/50

    What are the differences to expect from the 3 15 inch dimensions. I calculated
    the resulting heights of the tires:

    195/60 117
    185/65 120,25
    205/5 112,75

    I am inclined to choose maximum clearance from ground and to buy 185/65, even if
    the point of gravity is lifted a bit and so the chance to loose ground
    increases.

    Any comments?
