Hello!

Here goes the tire question again; I have checked the archives and Corsa
technical manual, but have a question:

With stock 14" rims, looks like the 185 75 R14 is a better match to the
original 7.00 x 14 tire -- cross section is closer to original.

Yet, the previous discussion has focused on the 195 75 R 14.

Any thoughts on the smaller tire? I am not concerned about the speedo -- my
Rampy has a 110 HP and 3.89 axle; who knows what the speedo will read.

I'm primarily concerned about rear clearance between tire and sheet metal.

Thanks,
