Have seen a lot of discussion about going to 205/60 13s from the stock 185/70 13, and the fact that there is very little selection of rubber in the larger size. Since I'm looking at buying a set of new Superlites anyway, what is the general consensus about putting on Superlite 14"s with 195/65 14 rubber? There is a lot of selection of rubber in that size, and the external size of them is absoultely identical to the stock 185/70 13. Pack Performance (now VTO Performance) has the 14" Superlites with the correct bolt circle, offset & backspace for $165, and Tire Rack has 9 different tires in that size. Feedback? Am I stupid?

I just put 14" Panasports and 195/60HR-14 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires on my car a few weeks ago. I was amazed at how nicely it rode compared to the 205/50-13 Sumitomos that were on it. Looks far better and rides better. Mitch Ware - #19670 |

Hi Steve, I'm quite happy with my 15" 205/50 setup. Wheels are 15x6 Compomotive ML, and the rolling diameter is about 0.4% different from stock. That being said, I'm sure the 14" 195/65 will give a softer ride. Pete Bahr |

I have Superlite 14" wheels with 205/60 Falken tires. I have had them for about 3 years and worn out one set of tires (hi-way and autocross). Major improvement in the handling and appearance. They are well worth the money if you really want to drive your car. |
