i need some new tires, i want good grip and good durability.....



i currently have 195 65 14 in the rear and 195 60 14 in the front....there not the recommend sizes so i know i can fit other sizes in there



i'd like some 215s or 205 without compromising the speedo rating too much.....



anyone with suggestions?

the gsl-se's came with 205-60-14's on the same size rims,

the 83 limiteds came with 195-60-14's, so far the 195's are a little more precise

Time to find wider wheels. The skinny lil' phone dials shouldn't have more than 195's on them. If you wanted to prove a bet or just make a point, you could get wider tires, but when the sidewall come inward the contact patch flexes outward and negates all the extra width. Plus, too wide of tires on too narrow of wheels make for wobbly rides.
