    which tires for "s" wheels

    I've been looking around for tires for my weaves and am having trouble picking a set. Do 60 series tires look to small, or should I go with a 65 series? What is a popular tire to run here?
    Thanks
    Stu

      195/60-14's look fine.

          195/65/14 is stock IIRC but tons of people run 195/60/14 falken azenis and they look fine.

              205/60 is also a popular choice for weaves.

                  195 almost doesn't fit the rim properly (ie too much rim lip outside the rim) and you can get some road rash on them pretty easily.

                      Unless your car is lowered, there will be MAD fender gap with an undersized tire, just thought I would mention it. I'm rockin' the 60 series on my bottlecaps...

                                  Thanks, I wish I could find a local place that carried azenis. I really don't want to wait for them to arrive.
