        What about 195/50/15

        Found them for $259.00 shipped and with road hazard warranty (free replacement)

        Can't seem to locate the 195/45's

          they'll squeek in there, just check your rear strut clearance.
          Trees aren't kind to me...

            Im running 195/55/15. I had to hammer in (roll) the fender lip on the inside but they fit. They rub on big bumps but I dont care. When I buy new ones they will be the 195/50/15s

              Do 15 inch rims slow down the Festy a lot? It is a +3 afterall.

                  The 55's clear so I assume the 50's should clear as well... I don't want to have rubbing if i can avoid it.



                  Anyone have a resource for finding cheap 15" tires... Best I found was $259 shipped for a set of 4 hankook 195/50R15's Is this good?

                    i used to have 195/50's and they will clear, its a tight fit but they fit, 195/45's would be better though

                    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                        There's a nice set of Sentra 15 inch OEM alloys w/center caps in a salvage yard down the road from me in Belleville (St. Louis Metro) IL. They want $200 less tires. I don't want 'em. Most of you guys pay less than this for Festivas.

                          What brand tires...Toyo Proxies, etc.? Perhaps a sticky can be made on tire companies that manufacture these hard to get sizes, i.e. 195/45r/14's, 195/45r/15's, etc.

                          ....what do you think?
