Default Tire question

I currently have 205/50/15 tires on my integra, but yesterday, one of them had a hole in it, so I can't get a new tire until tuesday or wednesday. I was wondering if I threw on my stock 14" rim with a 195/60/14 tire on it, would it **** anything up? Will I have any problems driving on three 15" rims and one 14" rim for a couple days?

It's safer than a donut. That would be my choice.

The OD is about the same between them and much closer than the doughnut that comes with the car. Just don't forget it's there when cornering or under hard braking. The different tire may not react the same as the other three. Should still be much better than the spare it came with.

that's what I use as my spare tire. a while back I have a blow out and had to use the 195/60/14 spare and I hardly notice any difference but I sure as hell didn't drive crazy when I had it on though.

u shouldnt have ABS but if you do then it might mess with your ABS system a little. But other then that your good. Take caution on tight corners on that side. Later
