      Daug1502, are you putting the 195/60/14s on the stock rim? If you are, may I ask what brand of tire you like...and thanks!

      They also need a green neon glow from under the chassis to look good.

      floraver, I am using uniroyal tiger paws right now. They are fine. If you are looking for something sportier than that, I don't know. I haven't had the opportunity to really look tires over and try out different ones.

      Hunter, Don't forget to paint it black.

      I remember back when i has my stock rims i think i ran some 205/50/14's on there. I dont remember the sidewall but it was either 50 or 60 but def 205's in width.

      Made the rim look deep dish lol

      205/50/14 is actually smaller than our stock wheel size. A better option for tire size would be 205/55/14. But these are somewhat odd sized tires and harder to find. If I could find the 205/55/14 I would be very interested.

      I've been running 195/60/14's on my sedan and my wifes hatchback and we're both very satisfied with the way the car handles the road as opposed to the skinnier 185's. I've been using BF Goodrich G-Force tires and before they discontinued them we were using the BF Goodrich Traction T/A's.

      I tried 195 70 R14 and the car drove great but when running a paper route with these tires it was hell Couldn't back up without hearing a clank or going in a circle. After about 20,000 miles on these tires we went to 185 75 R14 better but the odometer wasn't reading right. Currently have 185 65 R14 General Altitreck RS tires because my dad hates good year This car has never had Good Year on the car.
