    Stock Basketweaves - Tire Size?

    So Tire rack has nothing available in 195/65-14 - Is anyone still running the stock rims and what size are you using?

    I'm coming up with pretty slim pickin's for daily tires - I'm thinking something in the High Performance or better All-Season category.

    Thanks!

      better selection in the 195/60/14 and 205/60/14 categories. I run with either one of these sizes and whatever is in my budget at the moment

      currently running Riken Raptors on the front, and Barum Bravuris 2 on the rear. decent enough for a daily, but I wouldnt call them performance tires.

          I'm running 195/60-14 Star Specs, but the engine is really reving on the hwy. The speedo will show 70 mph and folks are passing me like I'm standing still. :(

              205-60-14 is the plus 0 setup. And stays close to the stock diameter if u can't get 195-65-14. 195-60 is too small.

                  Agreed, either go 195/65 or 205/60.
