What is the correct size for the rear tire of a 1998 Standard model.
The Manuel shows 180/70R15  --  Is that correct?

Easier to remember using the 8-7-6 mnemonic (180/70-16). Now what was the front tire size, lol.

And if you want a better ride and more miles out of a new rear tire, get a 200/60/16. Then run it at about 42psi.
