I'm not sure which model or size of blizzaks to get. Can anyone hlep me?

I currently have 205/50/15 Toyo Proxies. My car is lowered 1.75 inches, I still got some clearence in the wheel well.

I was thinking maybe 205/60/15?

Thanks

 

Why in the world would you want to do that? Stock size is 195/55-15, so with the easier to find and all around better 205/50-15 you come out with a speed error of -1.6% which is fine. Now you want to use snow tires...and go with a size that's way too big? Why? 205/60-15 will introduce a speed error of +5.3%. Get some 205/50-15s, or 195/55-15 snows.

 

Also, for snow Iwould reccomened norrow tires. The wider they are, the more the weight is distributed over the snow, the more chance you have of just "floating" over it.

195 is the way to go...

 

So if narrow is better, could I run a 185/65/14? (stock tire size is 195/60/14) A friend of mine has a set for cheap and I've never thought about it but would they work?

Do you have compatible 14" wheels to put them on?

 

Yup, stock steel wheels and wheel covers

 

Duh. I didn't read that very thoroughly. Yeah the 185s will work.

 

Would 195/60/15 work? Thats all they make in the Blizzak for the 195 width.

thanks

 

If I had 15's, I'd probably go with something closer to stock (195/55/15 is stock GSR I think)

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html has a great tool to calc tire sizes

 

195/60-15 would be too large (185/70-14 and 205/50-16 are about the same diameter as 195/60-15, which are all larger than Integra tires). 185/60-15 would probably be better, if you can find that size.

 

185/65/15 is the only option for Blizzaks.

People with integras...what size blizzaks are u running?

Thanks

 

205/50-15s. They're old though, I think they reformulated them since.

 

ya no 205/50's any more...anyone else running blizzaks?

I got Blizzak ws-50s in 195/55-15 size at tirerack.com for $83. Another choice is the Michelin Pilot Alpins in 205/50-15 size for $120ish. I'd get some Blizzak lovin'.
