Not off hand, but check the manual. Sometimes they offer a hand crank for

I wonder how much of that difference was due to the size (195/65 vs. 205/60)?
Seems intuitive that the 205/60 would have better grip dry than a 195/65, all
else being equal, but I suspect that there can be wide variation from batch to
batch of tires from the same maker. However, even though
