Default what rubber on stock rims?

What's some good rubber to put on the stock 88 CRX si rims (14 x 6) other than A032R's?
And is it possible to get a lower profile than stock (60 sidewall)
(Yokohama A520's fit but I heard there bad in the rain and they only come 185/60/R14)
Any other suggestions?

You want some good daily driver tires or are you more interested in "racing" tires?

I got some Dayton Daytona HR's on my car for daily driving. They were cheap ($50 each installed w/ RH warranty)and I love em! 43K miles and counting on a 40K mile tire. I went with stock 185/60/14, but I don't see why you couldn't change the size, it's gonna cost more when you get into the "odd" or less poplular sizes.

Dunlop makes a 195/55/14 size in the SP Sport 8000s. i had that tire in a 15in size and they are AWESOME. they're Zrated. a buddy of mine had the 14" size on stock CRX alloys and the sidewalls looked pretty much like stock. couldn't tell they were smaller than stock.

the Falken Azenias are good tires only if your car has neg. camber they seem to wear out fast, very soft and pretty damn sticky.

Yeah the Falken's would be sweet - but they don't ship to canada so I gotta find someone to ship to in the states and then drive down...
hoping something available here would be just as good...

The Si rim is actually 5.5 inches
Go with Toyo T1-S 195/55R14's

the toyo T1-S 195/45/r14 is what I wanted to get but I was under the impression that the T1-S only fit 14x 6 - 7 rims.
I thought I saw 14x5 on the back of my rims, are they 14x5.5?

yeah, i have my stock set of 90 that i want to put back on my car...
i think they are 14x5.5
and i know that kumo has the race tires that are still street leg.
and its eighter a 195/50/14 or some liek that, its a pimp tire.
and nitto has teh 14 inch drag radials.
the kumos are pretty cheep and would work damn good for autoX.
and street as long as you dont burn out much...
?
