205/65/15 - maintains the same rolling diameter of the stock tire -25.4" as I remember - And yes, they're what I run on my car.

I liked the extra pep off teh line from using 50 series but the speedo was way off. 60s are OK but the speedo will also be incorrect. it will read faster that actual speed
