Provided you like the way they look on your car there is nothing wrong and a
lot right about running 70s on the front wheels and 60s on the rears. The
205 size is about the largest that can be used on the stock wheels, BTW.
I'd like 195-70s up front better, but finding them requires some searching.
The 185s should be OK but look a bit tiny IMHO.
