go to discount tire/americas tire http://www.tires.com

You are in CA, they have to have a location near you. Thats where I have gotten all my tires from.

That's odd, I've ordered 195/50/15 711s from Tire Rack before and I've got the Si wheels. Hell I know people with 205 (from Tire Rack) on those same wheels.

just look for a local, smaller shop. they'll put just about any size tire on your rims. check your areas auto trader / parts trader. those shops at the back section selling tires should be able to help you out.

i thought 195-50-15 came stock on si rims the michelen gtx balch whatever well thats what was on my si's when i bought them from my friend...when he bought his 00 si straight from the dealer

also, im pretty sure the law or whatever is that they can sell them to you but they cannot mount the tires on your rims and mount the rims on your car, like at discount tire here they cant put the little whitewall tires on my borthers 13's for his lowrider ranger but they can put the tires on the rims but we have to bring the rims up there, he has hydros and all that ****

hey slowdx, they were 195/55/15s, and those things were bald as hell!!! Trust me, I know. Anyway, I did some burnouts on them with my ZC sedan before the car went to a new home. The wheels found a new home on my sister-in-law's 02 EX coupe in St. Louis. She bought them for the same price you sold them to me for . She had to put her good stock tires on them, of course.

Also, the 94-up GSRs used 195/55/15s (at least our sedan did). I hate the way Honda uses oddball tire sizes that you have to pay out the a$$ for.

For example, our Odyssey uses 215/65/16s. Judging by the price and availability of that size, I think it's the only vehicle on the road that uses that size tire...
