Probably a heck of lot more than you ever wanted to know about the info on a tire sidewall.

Gah! I thought I had mentioned all the numbers.
On the MINI: P185/60R15
On the Cougar: 205/60R15
Thanks in advance! -

Hopefully this will help:

From what I can tell, the 205/60/15's should fit, they are close in diameter and the same width as the 205/55/16 I had installed on mine. -

That's very helpful. According to that web page, the 205s may actually bring the speedometer back closer to true. Right now it reads a bit too fast.
Can I safely assume that because they're both 60/R15s that the 205s will fit on the 15" holies I have? -

more helpful info!
I have trouble believing the tires on it are chosen with any particular care, though they are Continentals. Odds are good that the place put on whatever fit and was on hand. -

↑Very true↑ I used to work part time at a used tire place. The small time used car lots love used tires. There was one in particular I remeber who didn't even care if all the tires on a car were the same size.

I feel bad now, because I looked more closely & all the tires on the MINI are matched Goodyear Eagle LS. Odds are, though, that the car came to the seller with them.
