Default tire sizes

Can't find anything on this so here goes: I have a set of 15" 6.5 wide rims. I need to know which tires I can safely mount on this... I want minimal speedo error. origonal tires were 205x70x14

That doesn't help. I need to know which tire is best for the rim and I don't know anything about sizing tires to rims...


mxs, how do you figure that?

Well, on the left is your stock size. I picked other sizes as the comaprison until the speedo error got as low as possible.

As far as width, it lists the possible rim widths for the tire (on the right side). 6.5 is right in the middle of the range, so I would think it would be fine.
