Does any one know the standard tyre size for a '94 S off the top of their head?
I forgot to write it down
That's my car up there, see?

It makes a little difference to the circumfrence of the wheel though. A 60 profile tire is slightly smaller than a 65. I would imagine this would slightly affect speed and acceleration, though I don't know if you'd ever actually notice it in practice.

My manual says something about using 65 or 60 Profile tyres depending on the how much you load the car up. Might check that if I remember.
