Tyres should be OK. 205/65R15 is the stock size, but the speedo error is minimal. Don't use worse load index than 91. Mobil oils are good, avoid everything starting with a 10 for the oil grade, use 5W30, 0W40 I think should be OK too.

Hi all
I agree on the tire front but the oil 
I have heard of people using 0w40 and it comming out
of crank seals ect on older engines due too the age of the seals and the fact the oil is soooooo thin.
