ok, so if i go from a 205/55/16 tire to a 205/60/16 tire on my stock s14 wheels, will those tires fit and work? they are half the price if they will work. also what is a good tire to go with on the s14?

Thanks

You don't want a taller 60series tire on your car.Stick with the 205/55-16 and pay the premium price that comes with it for the better grip level.

Many summer performance tires, all season performance tires, and R compound are available in that small size.

Also, never forget the adage "Cost more, worth more" is especially true about tires.

Local tire shops, local nissan dealers, local hub cap and used OEM wheel refinishers/dealers.-best bet

I got mine off a customer who bought 19" cast wheels.Forged>castprice was right too.
