    14" tires

    195 65r14 are becoming harder to have a decent selection from. 60's are more plentyfull but i was wondering how 70's would fit and perform on our cars. i would b putting them on caps.

    195/50/14 ftw!

    Taller sidewall, the more floppy the suspension feels. plus you're speedo will read less than you are actually doing.

    Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

        WTF are you talking about? A 195/50 if a much shorter sidewall, 3 sizes TOO SMALL actually.

            195/65-14 you can still get Falken 912s, which are not too bad. 195/50-14 would give you retardedly short gearing and I'm not even sure what tyres you'd be able to get.

              ^ Agreed. If I were ordering a tire in that size it would be the Falken Ziex.
