     I need sound advice about new rubber for my '87 16V 'rocco.  
     Should I stick with the stock size tire on my factory 14" 
     tear drops at 185 60 R14, or is it a no brainer to get 
     improved handling by going up to the 195's?  I have zero 
     suspension mods and don't plan to lower ever (Pot hole 
     heaven is in Wisconsin too!)
     
     Let me know if you have "been there, done that" and whether 
     you cried "JOY!" or "hated it".  Thanks a bucket full!

IF YOU KEEP THE TEARDROPS GO 205 55 ZR 14's AVS INT
Yokahamas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the stock size for GTI's in 1988 and they fit and drive great.
If you don't go 205 55, get new rims 15's or 16's and go 205 ...
You wont have problems unless you lower the car and change the offset with
funky rims so you are set.
