Anybody run 195/60-15 tires?

I know stock is 185/60-15 for the Neon but that size limits tire selection. My old 92 Shadow ES came with 195/60-15 and there were allot of tire selections for that size. The 195's are .5 taller so the speedo would be off by +1.99% so 70MPH is 71.4MPH.

I've got 33K on the original Goodyears and with snow on the ground they don't do well with 6/32 tread left on them.

I'm running a 195/55VR15 during the summer and a 205/60R15 during the winter. No problems with either of those. I'm lowered almost 2" on stock struts and either of those wheels work fine for me.

Both sets of my daily tires I've had so far have been 195/60/15.

I'm running 195/65/15's in the winter and they just clear the struts

as long as you are cool with the variance in the speedometer and the odometer, they work.

personally, i think you should stick to a stock height. but thats my opinion.

I run 185/65/15 in the winter I don't have an issue with perches due to my coilovers.
