Tire size change

[tlly]

What tire size would be best to replace the stock tire (185/65r15)?

I was considering either 195/65r15 or 195/60r15.

Note that I have a 15x6.5 rim.

Thanks,

Go to http://www.tirerack.com enter your tire size, and pick any tire.
Click on "specs". You'll see every size for that tire.
Look at tire "overall diameter", and "rim width range".
Stay within 1" OD of your factory tires, and a width that fits your rims.
Your 185/65r15 is 24.5" OD with 5.5" rim width. I'm using 195/65r15 with 25" OD with 5.5"-7" width range. My speedo error is 2 mph slow at 70 mph. (GPS/OBD speed)
BTW the sidewall bulge protects my rims from road rash.
TireRack has loads of good Info. Buy tires anywhere you choose.

Thanks for the feedback AJVersa

But do you feel any adverse effect with the little gain in height of the tire?

I've been driving for almost 50 yrs. IMHO taller tires will always give a smoother ride. But don't expect better MPG. (29-33 my foot gets heavy at times) My 195/65 Conti's have lots of grip on dry pavment. (AZ) If you drive in rain and snow, you'll need a different tire. And if you like to 4 wheel drift Go for a lower profile. They look good, but they ride like a truck.
