i just bought two pair of the 195/60R14 variety, and really happy with them:
less hesitant turn-in,
much nearly impossible to lock except under unusually braking, less rear-end
"wiggle and hop" around
bumpy corners. and it appears to me that the difference between the OEM size
and these 60 series
tires is approximately ( +- 1/2" ) the same as the difference between OEM and
185/70R14.
it seems that "H rated" tires are much more plentiful in 60 series where as
most 70 series tires are
S and T rated.
tire size diameter
165SR14 24.12" (from direct measurment. tire under no load)
185/70x14 24.19" from Skye's tire calc
155/80x14 23.76" "
195/60x14 23.25" "
