I believe this is correct and will keep your speedometer in line and your car safe.
For me :Stock 185/70/14
Plus 1: 195/60/15
Plus 2: 205/50/16
Plus 3: 215/40/17
Consumer reports has an article on this the benefits of Plus sizing.
If you have an stock 15" tire (EX)
then stock 185/65/15
plus 1: 195/55/16
plus 2: 205/45/17
plus 3: 215/35/18 Do they make 35" tires?? (the ride will be rough as hell)!
But these plus sizes will keep you straight with your speedometer and diameter of the
tire stayin closest to stock
