I have some 14x6.5 basket weaves off an e30. I'm having trouble finding a 195 tire with a sidewall smaller than 65. Any ideas? I'd like to have somewhat of a low profile, but nothing crazy. Just smaller than 65 sidewall. Toyo proxes t1r's are a little pricey. My price range is ~300.

 

195/60 14 is a widely available size man. Check out TireRack.com and search for it - they have a whole slew of options from $58 to $112 a tire.

 

Thats a lot of sidewall though. :/ I was running 195 65 14s on them for a while and it just looked weird as hell.

 

The car dictates the tire size, more so then the wheels. Try using a tire size calculator to help you find what sizes you can run safely on those wheels.

Thanks.

I think 185 60 14's will be okay. Theres not much of a difference compared to the stock wheel size. The car came standard with 175 70 13's.

 

185/60/14 would be the best tire to match the overall factory size. sidewall is only about 4.3". are you looking for a summer only tire or all-season?

obviously 195/65/14 was way too big. almost 6% larger than stock. and 5" sidewall

 

Summer tire. I run my stock wheels during the winter months.

 

there arent a ton of options but you can get dunlop direzza d1 star spec in 185/60/14. thats a super sticky summer tire. only problem is they are out of your price range.
