Default What is interchangeable w/ a 185/65/r15?

Hey Guys,
Just am wondering what other tires I could use. It is a 1997 Honda Accord w/ 15" rims that came with 185/65/15's. I've got a hookup where I can get 50% any Bridgestone tires. I was hoping to get the Turanza with Serenity but they don't make them in this size I only use the steelies for winter but don't want Blizzaks.

Thanks!

Ideally, you want to get a tire that matches the car or is within a 3% of the original equipment's overall diameter. To figure out what tires fit that range, as well as what wheel widths they are designed for, you can use a simple Tire Size Calculator.

Here's one I use regularly: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

Thanks for the link! Just ordered 4 195/65/15s. I am hoping the difference in size won't create a rubbing issue since I am lowered. I don't think I should since I currently am running 215/40/18's. Guess we'll find out in November when I put them on.

215/40R18 is 24.7" diameter, 195/65R15 is 25.0" diameter.......no worries !

Thank You sir!

I ordered my rims and Yokohama WS4's from Tirerack a couple years back! Super fast shipping! Would have ordered my tires from you guys...but I can't beat 50% off at my job!

BTW, what is the correct way to store tires in the basement? I am assuming in a bag? Does it matter if they are flat or should they be standing up? Also, any warranty of the WS4's I purchased? They don't have that many miles on them bc they are my summer tires and are cracking already .
