These are my new tires, I dont have many miles on them, but they handle nice and have great grip. Plus, the car looks nicer with 195/60/15 tires instead of 205/50/15, it is more proportionate and matches the 15'' steel rims perfectly.


The wheel gap looks much nicer when it is uniform all the way around.

 

Actually 205/50-15 is NOT an appropriate size as it is outside the recommended ±3% of the factory specification ... 205/55-15 is the closest in diameter to the 175/65-15 stock size.

 

Yes, 205/55-15 is good street tire size.

Steel 15" rims?

Where did you get them? How much for each? How much do they weigh?

Winter wheels from tirerack?

Makes for a good full size spare tire.

 

Hey we're twins!



This is my Winter setup with Nokian WRs. They did very well last Winter. I've about worn out my 16" Nokian Z summer performers that I put on last Spring. They make very good tires!

 

I found these at Discount Tire:

I do like the size of this tire in relation to the wheel wells. Are these 195/60/15 as well?

 

I got my steel rims from the Honda dealer, they are ment for an '02 civic i think. I origonally found one rim at a junkyard and then ordered them new once a fit was confirmed.

Ive had steel rims as my year round set up for about a year or more. I use s-heavies in the winter.

 

If you ever get a chance try weighing one rim and tire and post the result.

I think a stock holey rim and Conti tire is about 28 lbs by comparison.

 

How did they compare to other summer tires that you've tried?
