    I wanted 165 60s. Your previous comment made me happy I couldn't find them. I never thought about it like that.

      Complete fluke I found clearance bin Nokian Hakkapeliitta 155/65-14s 3 years ago (and then again this spring). Car looked stock with those but the stance was considerably nicer and for once the car didn't shake and shimmy at 75 like it always did with golf cart 12s or cheap 13s.

        Who ever drives a Festiva 75? Especially in northern climes?

          They can move. I've pegged the speedo many times on the freeway.
          Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

              I run 75-80 a lot in mine. I drive 29 miles on the interstate to work. So mines in the 75-80 miles per hour range a lot.

                At what width of 14 do you have to do the Aspire swap or change from stock?

                  Ive been trying to get federal tires for 2 years. Whenever I get serious enough to buy tires they're nowhere to be found lol... Or I get a way better deal on other tires like last time.

                  I have my eyes on a set of 185/55's, hopefully i can get them monday or tuesday.

                      Same here..... great rain tire,good all around performance. And I also have the General snow tires,but I switch to 13's for my snow tires. If you drive in the rain much stay away from the cheap Kumho's, not to mention they wear horrible (worst tires I've ever ran). I might try the Hacka's this winter just for giggles.

                            Snow = $ Snow = Fun. Snow doesn't = Hurricanes or Fires Ants. Any other questions?

                                My 93 ATX could even run up to 145 kph (90mph) without having to wind up too much. As long as you've got round tires (which you can't really get in 12s) 75 doesn't feel uncomfortable and as I recall in an MTX it's no big deal rev-wise (ie in around 3200 rpm) either and I did Freeway runs to Toronto and back (250 miles each way) at 70 fairly often in an Aspire-swapped Festy.
