I'm buying new tires online for the first time. According to my VIN, my car is 1997 Del Sol Si and the tires are supposed to be 185/60-14. However, I looked at the tires that are already on my car and they are all 195/60-14. Now I don't know which one to follow. Should I get 185/60-14 or 195/60-14? I bought the car used. My concern is that the wheels may not be original. They look like stock but they could have come from a VTEC trim. Or maybe the mechanics have been installing the wrong tires all along.

 

185-60-14.

 

Doesn't matter if the wheel is original or not. It's a 14" wheel so 185-60-14 will fit. It's possible the previous owner bought the wheels from a del Sol VTEC or the last tire technician was going off the del Sol VTEC tire size.

 

Look inside your driver side door jamb. There will be a sticker with some info...including tire size info.

There's a .46" diameter difference between 195/60 and 185/60. The 195's are a bit taller and 3/8" (10mm) wider.
