Max,
Get whatever you want.
Going from 14" to 15" with aluminum rims, and getting lower profile tires to get about the same ride height, shouldn't add weight, and if you're going from steel 14"s to Aluminum 15"s, it'll be lighter. I did that to my wife's Volvo, Steel to Aluminum, yet found some Volvo 16"s at the PAP that fit, with lower profile tires. Handles quite well.

I'm sure the manuals all say the same thing. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, stick to original eh? Enjoy the heat. I wont say we had a nice cool rain this morning just before it got light. Stop by Hadleys and have a few dates for me, I have memories that go back to 16 years old there and we would always stop at Whitewater and just groove on how neat the desert was. Max

I'm vacationing at the gates of hell judging by the heat, (Indio, Ca. 120*) my wagon's booklets were stolen by an asshole I trusted along with SIX cans of R12 so I can't check the suggested tire sizes but you sound about what my worthless memory says .
I had some fun a while back driving the 240D on a mountain road rally with Sports Cars who all passed me easily going up hill but couldn't keep up with my on the twisty down hill sections and I'm sure it has the 175SR14's as unsprung weight is a killer on under powered engines .
People always seem to want bigger tires and don't care that they slow you down and increase ball joint etc. wear greatly .

Well, I'm looking at the owners manual and it calls for 175 SR 14, seems kind of narrow. I think mine are 195's and they seem narrow. That was for the 240 the 300 calls for 195/70 SR 14.. Max
