Rep Power: 0 tire calculator .. help me out
What's up?
ON the tire calculator how much a difference in % matters when changing tires? Is .01% ok? Is 4.5 %?
I have no idea...I have 185/70/14...and want to go to maybe 195/70/14's.....or go to 195/60/14's....please explain this to me...I am clueless about it...Will it change my ride...I want better handling and bearing down in my turns when I am going 50mph on the off ramp off the interstate...my car doesn't stick low and tight enough right now like I want it! Thanks.

Rep Power: 393 i see your plannin on lowering it, that would help alot... as for those tire sizes, not much cause it still has a big side wall.. smaller side wall you get better handling response. wider tires = more traction. i would just say keep your stock tires untill you get some rims...
as for the size difference, the closer to stock the better... but i would try to keep it bigger rather then small cause i would prefer less miles compared to actual then more...
