what is a good low profile tire size for a 14? i want nitto's so i will have performance. but u knw, what would be a good tire?

thanks
me

 

Will the Falken Azenis RT 215 be good enough?

 

i have nitto's... NT460.. 195/60 i would say they are good all-season performance tire and cheap too falken ziex are nice too.

i don't know what kind of tire u looking for.. if for drag racing

i suggest.. getting the azenis.. or some advans but don't expect long thread life

 

185-60/14 is the stock size on the 14" alloys. Going with a lower-profile tire (shorter sidewall height) on a stock-sized wheel is going to mess up the speedometer readings. For a lower profile tire and wheel combo, look into 15" wheels with 195-50/15 rubber. Most EFs seem pretty happy on those, and they keep it pretty close to the original overall diameter so the speedo isn't reading radically wrong...

You can go use a 195-55-14 without noticeably affecting the speedometer.
There seem to be less choices available these days in street tires though.
Toyo T1-S and Dunlop SP8000 that I know of...

 

you must have low performance expectation if nitto and ziex are good performance tires...

i tried to get some discussion on the best 14" tires available. not many choices, especially since azenis 215 are no longer available.

damn i didn't think they made tires that were that low profile for 14s. 195/<U></U>45<U></U>/14 must be very expensive

 

same price as 195/55/14...<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SFlCrx &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

i don't know. haha

 

if you want lower profile, go with 15 inch rims. try to keep the diameter somewhat close.
