195 60 R15 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #90415 5 posts Started by nics
Anybody running on these? There is a very small difference with the stock 205 55 R15 but I am wondering if that small difference has a night and day effect on the car's handling. Thanks

You'll have more sway going into corners at highspeeds with skinnier tires. I wouldn't use anything skinnier than 205 on our Celicas mainly because our cars weighs more than Hondas. Lol. It'll still be safe to run 195 but 205 would suit better for our cars.

Just run 205/60 if cost or availability is an issue. You'll be fine. I'm on 195/65 with zero problems.
Yeah I noticed that it is cheaper to get the 195s. I have no problems of on the price but yes the availability of the 205/55/15 on some tire manufacturers are not that great.

On snow, skinnier may be better but of course it can't beat dedicated snow tires.
