Tire Question
when i got the car it had some brand new rubber on it. but the size puzzled me.
185/65/14 on 6 spokes?
why so small?
will this effect drivability? should i replace them with recommended tire size,
205/70/14?

Where did you get 205/70/14 as the stock size?
I believe 195/70R14 is stock. 205/70 will be wider and taller (use this: Tire size calculator). They will still fit though.

i have done a tire size calculator. if i remember right it was -5% difference.
but what is the reason in going smaller?
edit: t-bar option size is 205/70, says, FSM.

stock size on most models was the 195/70. 205/70 will fit just fine, if you want you can go 225/60 all the way around, it fits and gives you better traction and handling. 235/60 will fit on the back which is what i did to combat wheel spin but then you can rotate tires and increase the life of the tires.

225/65 sounds really appealing. after driving my first 300 miles in the 280 i really dont like the feel of narrow tires. feels loose around the corners...or maybe its because i havent put on my tokicos yet.

New / stiffer suspension and bushings helps a lot with body roll and control.

225/60 is what i meant.
im having a hard time finding tires in 225/60/14.

If you don't have $160 for suspension, how do you have $400+ for tires? Especially $400+ to replace "already brand new rubber" as you said.
Click: Google Search - 225/60R14
Make sure you are using "R" not "/" for the tire size...
