My '93 9000 CSE has always had 205/60-15's. I see that Tire Rack Web site shows the stock size for a CS is also 205/60, but a CD gets 195/65's. I also do not see a CDE listed, for some reason, but I imagine that there was one, though who knopws what the OEM tire size was. The diameter of a selected 195/65 is 25" and the same maker's 205/60 is 24.7". That equates to rotations/mile of 831 vs. 841 or a 1.2% difference. So at 60 miles per hour your speedo may be off by slightly more than 1 mph!! yikes... -Fred W
