so im gettin ready to go to south carolina tommarow and i went and got some tires for the trip. well i go and they only have one in my size, so we went with 195/55 15 in front and 195/65 15 in the back.

shit i got in and when i drove away i felt like a damn camaro or somethin all big in the back. its weird how such a small change can make a lot of diffrence in feel.

i allmost wanna grow a mullet and start beatin women lol fing02.gif

195-55-15 are semi low profile size tires in h and v-rated speeds.



195-65-15's are typically have lower speed ratings and thinner sidewalls which probably makes the car wallow and have higher sidewall deflection..in short..NOT SPORTS CAR TIRE!



my co-worker put 185-70-14's on his 2000 civic from the oe size 185-65-14 and the car wallowed like a pig and rolled all over the place.
