  • 14x6 tire recomendations

    Was wondering if I could get some input on tire sizes. I'm pickin up wheels tuesday I believe. For tires I want somethign with some performance. And a semi-low profile would be nice.

    195/45/14 fit real nice without any rubbing! And it is close to the same diameter as stock tires, so no speedometer errors.

        there's 185/60/14....that's what fred was running and what i'll be going with.....and they are very easy to find.....but yes I also have heard many good things about the 195/45/14's

          195/45 for the improved feel and confidence inspired by the smaller sidewall as well as turn-in and overall diameter... All very good reasons... But if the roads are bumpy, potholes, etc whereever you mainly drive I may suggest the 185/60's due to the better ride. -Kyle

              Check out mattswabb's link to his BPT Festiva, he's got pics of 195/45-14s; personnally, I think that size looks pretty good, plus these Toyo Proxes should be plenty good for your performance needs...

                      Brian, what suspension does your car have on your Car Domain page with the 195/45-14's on it??

                        I just searched and Tire Rack doesn't show a single tire in 195/45-14?????

                        I know the T1R Proxes comes in that size but Tire Rack doesn't carry them???

                          I have KYB super's with FMS springs. As for Toyo 195/45/14 try Onlinetires.com, they have good prices. Thats were I bought mine.
