Tire Size Upgrade for 88' 300TE - What Size?
Long time car enthusiast - Saab technician - currently shop manager for a corporation brand. I recently just added a 1988 MB 300TE to my fleet for $200 (needed a fuel pump relay to run) And it has 195/60/15 General cheap directionals on it. I want to replace the tires with a much more agressive all season tire - but at the same time I'd like to put the largest functional tire onto it. The car calls for a 195/65/15 - I figure a 205/60/15 would be OK - but curious as to what others have and how wide I can safely go without rubbing concerns. The car will be my Daily Driver/Mobil Diagnostic & Repair vehicle. Not planning to spen much on the car outside of what it needs. Thanks all in advance for the welcome and and advise.
