lol, dont diss, cant afford rims, i got the factory stellies on my 93si with falkens and it, my friend has enki 18 with nittos and his is a **** load faster when he puts the 14s with the "hercules" specials back on it. it should do fine and its a smart move to save the money, can't comment on the tire performance

 

on the 15in rim a 205/50/15 would also fit and sometimes they can be cheaper than 195/55/15. i have a 93 SI and i my steelies with winter tires. and i have si rims on 205/50/15 .

 

195/60/14

 

I was under the impression that 14's would be too small for the EM1.

 

185/65-14 is the stock size for an EX, so it should be fine.

I personally run 195/60-14 with EX steelies on my Si for winter tires, and 205/50-15 with the Si wheels for summer tires.

the skinnier the tire is the better it cuts through the snow

wide tires end up acting like big skis.....you just go slidding everywhere.

IMO get whatever size is the cheapest (within reason). I always buy used winter tires so they are never the exact right size for my car.....I have never had any big issues.

In the winter I run 195.60.14 I belive on black steelies, I have NEVER become stuck in the snow Never. When I leave school theres a pretty steap hill I have to go up, last winter we had a few inches of snow and it hadent been plowed yet and this big *** pickup truck was in front of me going up hill 4 wheel drive btw, his *** got stuck I just went right around him and my car is lowered 2" btw.

Tires do help but the drivers skills come well before the tires in winter driving IMO.

 

I use 185/60/14 for winters, and I bought them from tire rack...I just didnt tell them what car I had because I knew they would call me on the size difference.
(I also use integra brakes with these 14" wheels, so they'll fit as long as the offset is right)
