The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!

So do you want to tell us what kind of car these are going on, or should we just lock the topic?

I've got a bone stock 98 CX hatch with HX rims with shitty stock tires. I'm upgrading the tires soon so let me know what size I should run. Also the brand and model if your really good with tire knowledge, basically just looking for some good grippy all-seasons!

There is one outstanding all-season tire available in either of those sizes, better than all others - the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position in 195/60-14, $78/tire with free shipping at Discount Tire Direct.

However, that might not necessarily be the best size for the original poster's car, since he hasn't told us what kind of car it is.
