1982 - 244 Tire Size Question
Hi there,
Per the glove box of my '82 244DL (Canadian Spec), the tire size is supposed to be 185/75 R14, but all garages and web sites seem to indicate that it should be 185/70 R14. Does anyone know what it supposed to be? I would trust the glove box, but am curious why there are contradictions
Thanks!
Anthony

for some reason there is a size difference listed between the US and CA ... my guess is its the difference between the MPH and KPH speedos.

Athilla, rather than guess what a tire size will do (I've had speeding tickets because of tires that were "about" the same) use one of the tire size applications available such as the following link. Will tell you exactly the speed differences. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
