What tire sizes are you guys running?
I have a chance to get some tires but they are 205/65 I was wondering if anyone is running this size.
It would be on stock RS steelies.

205/65 is much, much too big, even too big for 14" wheels. For 14" stock size was 195/60-14, or 195/55-15 for 15". Some people also run 195/50-15 or 205/50-15.
I run 205/45-16 myself.

Not that I'm aware of. As Patrick said, 195/55-15 is the factory size.

So knowing that, if you had a 14" wheel, you would need a 65-15 for it to be the same size</TD></TR></TABLE>

for 7" wide wheels.
For stock 15x6 wheels 195/55-15 is best, or you can go with 195/50 if you don't mind a bit of speedometer error and want a bit quicker acceleration. Tires are cheaper in that size, too. 4 195/50-15 Yok ES100 tires are about $240 shipped.

Nope. Never on an Integra, or on a pre-2001 Civic when they were using the same tire sizes as the Integra or smaller.

195/50-15 is TOO SMALL for an Integra (3.3 percent smaller than stock). Like you say, it will throw off your speedometer, and it will make your car look like a low rider. And it isn't necessarily cheaper, either. Right now you can get the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50-15, four tires for $142 plus shipping, after rebate (expires the end of this week). The DZ101 is a very good tire, very similar to the ES100.

Too small, aye, 'tis a matter of opinion
^^^ 195/50-15 ES100's, they were cheap, good tires, and the little extra acceleration was cool... plus it helped keep me out of trouble, cuz I could go 76-77 according to the speedometer and actually be going right at 70 when on the highway. Or I could go a touch over 70 (everybody goes 5 over right?
) and my speedometer would say I was going 80.
But having said that, I still think 205 tires on 7" wheels look MUCH MUCH better than 195 tires on stock 6" wheels.

So your opinion is that you like the silly "low rider look".
It's certainly not a matter of opinion that they throw off your speedometer and odometer by 3.3 percent. Or that you can get some very good tires in the more accurate 195/55-15 and 205/50-15 sizes for about the same price as the undersized 195/50.

And it's not a matter of opinion that some people can't calculate 3.3 percent properly.
