Currently running 195/70R14 Michelin Rain(something) I like the squared tread.

Original tire size was 175SR14. Was this like a 175/85R14? What would be the comparable size today to 175SR14?

The car is geared quite low with no overdrive.

Im wondering about taller tires and not sure how much larger I can go without rubbing. Perhaps 195/75 or 205/70?

Here in Atlanta well anyone not running 70+ in a 55 is a sitting duck. So Im looking for some taller tires if I can run them.
