Default tire question

Hello guys, I have a stock LS mesh on my 2000 ek and about to get new tires...
whats the best size to get? A friend of mine said to get 215/50/15 tire size. What do you guys think? (Isn't that too big for stock ls mesh?)

195/55-15 or 205/50-15 is the best size for your car. Not to sure what is the width of your rim. Go to the wheel and tire forum if you need advice on the best tire for your specific needs.

I always ran either 195-50-15 or 205-50-15. I think 215 is a bit fat for me.

go with the the 205's because if you get curbrash it will hit the tire not the wheel (on how fast or hard you hit of course)...

azenis 615's 205/50/15.

Thanks very much everyone for replying. my stock LS mesh rims are like 6" wide. my goal for the car is road racing so tires is an important factor. I'll go with 205 then thanks again!

If you plan on tracking the car tire size is no where near as important as tire selection. Please consider that. If you have questions come to the Wheel and Tire Forum.

195/55 - 15 is the stock tire size for All 15x6" 94-01 Integra LS/GSR and 99-00 Civic Si wheels. 195/55-15 BF Goodrich Traction T/A's on my meshes and they are just fine.
