pretty sure all the 195/50/15s i have have stood the same height as the 155 12 on most stock rims
I have drawn my info from the "Tyre & Rim Association Australia. Standards Manual."
These are the people who set the standards in cohorts with global regulatory bodies, & who manufacture tyres & rims.
I have assumed that they would know the diameters of various tyre sizes.
There are also a number of
tyre size calculators available online, so a quick check there will help confirm the sizing.
The original sizes for the 1200 were ....
Standard/original fitment.
6.00x12x4 ply. diagonal ply [574mm, highway tread, Page S-03 of the 1988 book]
Optional fitment.
155SR12 [554mm, highway tread, page S-06]
My 1972 sales brochure lists only the 6.00x12 tyre but my 1973 owners manual lists both sizes in the 'recomended tyre inflation pressure' chart on page 31.
It clearly describes the radial as "optional"
If your Ute is moving around with the 13's then you're running on half flat tyres. I run mine up around the 30psi mark & don't have a problem, but then perhaps I drive a little more smoothly these days.
Besides, even girls are more fun when they have a little 'wiggle in their walk'
So are our cars.
