Default What size tire for a HX rim?

I need to buy some all season tires for my EG, and theyre goin on my HX rims. Im lookin at buying some Falken Ziex's, and was wondering what size you all recommend?

PS-I searched, but it couldnt use "HX", too few letters.

195/60-14 will work well.

Thats what i got and i get bad *** traction and tight turning

I have Yokohoma's i cant remeber the brand but they are excellent for all year round use, good rain traction as well. Havent had a winter with them yet though

not really your "all season" tire.

Just get the stock tire that honda uses.

my friend gave me his stockers, and those tires suck. i'm running falken ziex 512 all-seasons, and they're superior in every way. they're cheap as hell too

i run 2 different sets of rims so this was just my input . you cant beat these in the winter non-stop grip. if your lookingfor something good for all around then the ziex are the way to go . i would just rather run some cheap steelies in the winter so as not to mess up a good set of rims .

195/60-14 will work but that size on my HX's on my EH3 rub sometimes so I run 185/60-14 with no problems! I'm sure your drop will make a difference to, I've got a 2.5" drop on my whip...

Damn, you rubbed? Well, I guess that kind of drop makes a bigger difference on your chassis than mine. I'm also dropped 2.5" on my EJ8, and I ran 195/60-14 without a problem. I thought about buying some HXs and using 205/55-14s, but I could never find a cheap set.

My HX wheels rub with 195/60/14. But the drop is about 3". It used to be about 4".

Yeah, definitely falken ziex ZE-512's. Size wise I'll probably either go with a 195/60 or a 205/60. My fender wells are cut out so I got no rub.
