From some of my reading it sounds like a 195 55 15 for my new tires.
6" rims. 1.7 motor. pretty much a street car that i like to have some fun with. I do some freeway cruising in it so i am hesitant to go smaller than 55's. Dont really care to drive it in the rain. I do like to go up the canyons though. what do you think? |

Brer, know this is posted here somewhere, too, but here's a Tire size claculator.
205/50/15's have almost the same diameter as 195/55's and better performance. Both are smaller than stock, so buzzy, but IMHO worth it for the handling and acceleration. Speedo will be off about 10% with either. Biggest tire I found that will duplicate stock rolling radius (165/80/15 or so) without messing with the fenders is 195/65/15. I solved the problem by having both (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) but sure hate putting the 'street' tires on. |
