if you're just waiting for tires to swap, you'll be fine running those larger size tires for a little while until you have the right size. i've got the same size as my winter tires simply b/c they were cheap and came with the steelies... and it's fine. tire rack/discount tire will be able to get tires to you (assuming they have your brand/model/size in stock in like a couple of days)... they will ship from their closest warehouse. if you're not pressing for new tires toooo soon, just wait till discount tire or tire rack runs a $50 or $100 off promotion and you'll get a good set of tires for $200 or LESS! many people will recommend the average falken 512s (somewhat discountinued) or the 912s and with the $100 off promotion that discount tires has every year, you can get them for like $150 shipped or less or something RIDICULOUS. i just mention the falkens b/c you mentioned "good tires at low cost." a better low cost tire will be the kumho asx (all season) or kumho spt (summer tire). all these tires can be had decently USED for crazy cheap. GL any way you go.

Thanks all, I plan to change the tires this weekend on sat or sun considering my tires are **** low on treads
I'll take into cosideration of all the mentioned tires and if you say using larger size then i'll check out the nitto nt01 since someone mentioned they were only 65$?
Anyone know that tire formula? ie) tire speed compared to lower size or larger size and the odometer reading
I read somewhere that larger tires are better mpg oO lol correct me if i'm wrong there

Re: Tire help (SkaiWu)
The right tire size is usually one that has the same outer diameter as your stock tire size. On an Integra with 15" wheels, that means 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.
Using tires that are too big, like you have now, results in poorer acceleration (like putting taller gears on your car), inaccurate gauges, and possibly rubbing on the fenders or wheel wells.
Stick with 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.
As for WHICH tires to get, I often post a summary of advice on the best tires for Integras (such as in this topic) and here it is:
I do NOT recommend the Nitto NT-01 for use on public roads. That's an R compound track tire. It's great on the track, but like any track tire, it won't last very long at all on regular streets and highways (maybe 5K miles), it won't do well in rain, and it needs to warm up to be really effective. Stick with street tires on the street, and leave the track tires to the track.
You can use a tire size calculator like this one to compare the outer diameter of any two tire sizes, such as comparing a size you are considering to your stock tire size. Again, for street use it's usually best to choose a size whose outer diameter is within 1-2 percent of the stock diameter. And on an Integra with 15" wheels, that means 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.

The best tires for such folks IMHO are either the Falken Azenis RT-615, which is available in Integra sizes of 195/60-14, 205/50-15, 215/45-16, and 205/40-17, depending on your wheel size, or the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1, which is available in 195/55-15. These tires don't last all that long - treadlife of 10-12K miles is typical - and they are only so-so in rain. But if you only care about dry grip, they're the bomb.
b. People who want good traction on dry pavement, but also want good traction in rain and also care about value (purchase price and/or treadlife), and who DON'T use these tires in snow (either it doesn't snow where they live, or they have separate tires or another vehicle for winter conditions). These are usually people who use their tires for everyday driving. The tires I most often recommend for these folks are the Kumho SPT and the Avon Tech M500, which are available in Integra sizes of 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. I recommend the Yokohama ES100 in 195/60-14 for those with 14" wheels. All of these tires have very good grip on dry pavement, are excellent in rain, and last a reasonably long time (25-40K miles).
c. People who need to use the same tires in snow during the winter as well as in moderate to warm temperatures the rest of the year. These folks need all-season tires, which are a compromise; they have the flexibility to be used in a wider range of weather, but they're not as good in winter as true winter tires and they're not as good the rest of the year as summer tires such as those mentioned above. For these folks, I recommend the Kumho ASX in 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. For those with 14" wheels, I recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position in 195/60-14.
All of these tires are reasonably priced, and are the best you can get for your money in each of these categories, IMHO. You can get them shipped from places like Tire Rack, Discount Tire (whose higher prices are offset by free shipping), and Vulcan Tire.

Great. Here are some prices for you in 15" sizes:
Kumho SPT 195/55-15 $70/tire at the Tire Rack
Kumho SPT 205/50-15 $66/tire at the Tire Rack
Avon Tech M500 195/55-15 $59/tire at the Tire Rack

That must be a technical glitch on their website, because you must have searched by that size. It's still the wrong size for an Integra...
