The stock is 185/65/14. Just trying to figure other sizes that may fit, so I can start searching around for deals. Thanks

Guess 195/60/14 will be the other size?

The proper tire size depends on the car it's going on, not just on the type of rim.

 

toyo makes the t1r in 195 55 14 which i have been running. they are O.K., reasonably grippy and good in the wet (I live in portland, or.) but too soft a sidewall for my tastes. my car was pretty much stock engine wise so the shorter gearing worked for me. i have another 20 h.p. now so i am going to venture up to 195 60 14 as i can now pull that gearing to my satisfaction. 195 60 14 is size that has more options available. this is on a 1996 ek hatch, 5 speed, y5 mini-me (with hx wheels). picking tires involves quite a few givens if you want to make an informed decision. your car's oem specs, conditions you, drive in, the grip you want, wear you are willing to put up with, how you drive, noise, gearing, looks- balanced against cost..

 

What kind of car (model, year, version) is this going on? We can't give an accurate answer to your question without knowing that.
