Original tire size on a 2003 Nissan Altima S? ?

I need the whole thing, ex. 195/70R15. I got a ticket for doing 80mph in a 70mph zone, my cruise was set a little above 70mph. I have size 18rims… I want to fight the ticket; not for the money but for my insurance, and this is the only reason I have the ability to think of why he would think I was speeding. I wasn't clocked, he wrote aprox 80mph. Thanks

Answer:
On your drivers side door jamb is the tire sizes the vehicle came with. So who is responsible putting tires on your car? Your owners manual section #9 page #8 states all altimas with 4 Cly 2.5 liter motors came with 16″ rims 6″ wide and equipped with 205/65/16 t speed rated tires. Your altimas speedometer will never read slower than actual speed with stock size tires all cars are designed that way. Honda has a class action legal problem people state there spedos are running them out of warranty faster. (NEWS FLASH) Auto manufactures have been doing this for years. Most vehicles spedos are up to 10% fast. So to keep from being laughed out of the court room. Apply for deferred adjudication and slow down. Take a drivers course get the insurance company to lower your rates. Trust me you’ll not win that My spedometer was off reading fast argument. 70 marked road is considered very fast by Police who see the crashes every day. And you have to admit already traveling at 72 you then passed a Police cruiser that has a certified accurate spedometer.
