When I look at the guide it says that the 195/65R15 is the size for the 1300 but it seems that most go with 205/65R15. Which size do I go with if I want to make sure that nothing rubs on my R

I've got a buddy here locally that runs a 205/65/15 on his R without any problems or rubbing. I have the 205 Falken on my C & I had the old 165R15 Vee-dub tire on before the 205. Got about 27k out of it and still had more to go. The 165 definitely will not rub on anything.

If you go the 205 on your R I would turn the exhaust bolts around. one of mine rubbed the tire.
