It is FINALLY time to order tires for the 82 Corolla on 14x7 Celica Supra wheels.

I've decided to go with Federal SS-595

Which size should I use for an AutoX only car?

  • 185/55-14
  • 195/60-14

I know oldeskewltoy has a vote in for 195s. What say the rest of ye?

Depends on the gearing really. 185/55 would give a slight gearing boost, at possibly being slightly lighter in traction. In all reality though, that's not a really sticky tire, so I usually default to wider is better.

GRM says that tires grip the most when the tire is the same width as the wheel. So I would go with the 185/55 since a conversion calculator shows that the wheel is 177.8mm wide.

Tell us if those tires are good or just average.
