Ihave 185/60/14 tires on my car, and want to put 195/60/14 falken azenis on the front, can I do this without having to upgrade the rear tires to 195/60/14?

 

will work fine...your speedo might be off a little, but no biggie...have fun with those tires!!! who you going through??

 

Why would it not be possible?

Maybe your rear tires will break loose sooner than your fronts but you shouldn't be going fast enough to break loose Azenis on the street anyway so who cares?

 

so as long as the middle part for example 185/60/14 as long as the 60 part is the same, I can put the tires on? Because the 60 is the width right? or am I wrong?

 

wrong, the 198/185 is your width of the tires the 60 is the top of the tire to the rim(height).

"-The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall
-The second number is the aspect ratio. This is a ratio of sidewall height to width
-The last number is the diameter of the wheel in inches." -www.tirerack.com

so would it matter if i put 195/60/14 on front and 185/60/14 on the back?

 

nope...

 

can you explain how you can put a wider tire on a rim of the same size?

i.e. put a 195/60/14 tire where a 185/60/14 used to be.

 

Because the Stock Rim width is wide enough to hand anything up to 205, actually I had a 215 on 5.0 inch rim... but it was a tight squeez....

Falken Azenis 195/60's i had these on my Si rims and loved them. now i have some on HX rims. great tire for the price, especially what i got them for.... set of 4 for $65.

 

Why only fronts?

Jeez they're not drag radials bro.

 

Mine worked pretty well for drag radials.

 

$65.00 a set???? from where? I just bought Pirellis for $40 a piece

 

The overall diameter will increase (not desirable). Rim width is supposed to be at least 85 to 90 percent the width of a tire.

 

only fronts because the back tires are shot, and I want something better for my front wheels since its front wheel drive.

 

also, how do you like those hx rims? I got hx's on my eg, but I bought the car with hx rims, I was thinking about putting some rota slipstreams on it though, whats your opinion?

 

another one who turns to the Falken Azenis side!!!
welcome bro, I love the tires, and you will too

 

To get the full desired effect from the Azenis you'll need to get 4 of them, right?

They're designed with cornering in mind. They are THE most popular street tires at SCCA SoloII events.

 

are they good all around street tires?

how well so they handle rain?
