So..what do you guys think about 2 Toyo Proxes t1r 195/45/14 and 2 195/45/14 Falken Ziex 912 tires mounted on 14" Protege alloys? I have a chance to buy this set that haven't been rode on for too long, one of the toyos just has a little side wall scrub. heh...which ones go up front?

The treads are different, I think the zeix tires could be studded, they have the little dimples anyway.
I'm kinda curious wether they'll even work or not, the protege alloys are 14x5.5" and the 195=7.6" wide.....so, will it even work?2008 Kia Rio- new beater

Mattswabb ran the Proxes on 5.5" wide Miata Daisies and it seemed to run safely. He didn't complain about it.
I'd prefer a 6" wide rim though. It would get more handling out of the 195/45s, which would probably be maximized on a 6.5" wide rim (just a guess).
I'll keep a lookout for used Miata seven spokes (14 X 6" with 45mm offset) like I'm going to. I bought mine for $60! I admit I lucked out on those, and they were only a few blocks from home.

Try both tire brands on the rear; one might fit better than the other, altho they "should" be the same. Otherwise, long studs, 7mm spacers, open lug nuts does it.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
