Well, that's 3/4 inch on the diameter, or about 3/8 inch on radius. Or,
about 10 mm on radius.

The new tire is larger than the old tire, but the difference should be
negligible. The speedo will be slower than you are accustomed to, but the
change should just about make it dead-nuts accurate. The trouble -- if there
is any -- will be that the speedo will read 70 when you are really doing 75
(give or take). A "normal" speedo will read 70 when the actual speed is more
like 67. Larger tires will SLOW the speedo so the indicated speed and the
actual speed become the same, OR the actual speed is faster than the
indicated speed. (If the actual speed is faster than indicated, you need to
know so you can adjust your behavior. You can determine this easily with a
stopwatch and a measured mile OR with a GPS unit.)

Thanks for everyone's comments.  I did go to the www.Reifendirekt.ch website
and see that there are more choices available in Europe.

Michelin does not have 195/65 R14 tires at H rating in the U.S. any longer.
They do have them in a line called Harmony but that is a S rated tire.  They
do not have 205/60 tires on a 14" rim, the closest is on a 15" rim.  But
they do have the H-rated MXV4 as a 195/70 R14 as Giovanni commented.

Any comments about a 195/70 R14?

Hi!
I used to have the same car (1987 model) and I saw a similar car with 195/70
and I read that 205/60 are ok as well.
By the way, www.Reifendirekt.ch  lists 12 summer tires in the size
195/65-14.

Hope this helps

My 1989 325i uses 195/65 HR14 tires.  After the original I've always used
Michelin tires.  I now find out Michelin no longer makes a 195/65.  What is
a recommended Michelin tire for my car?  195/60 OK?

Thanks.
