    Rim Diameter: 14 in
    185/65 205/65 195/60
    Section Width: 7.28 in 8.07 in 7.67 in
    Rim Width Range: 5 - 6.5 in 5.5 - 7.5 in 4.5 - 7.5 in
    Overall Diameter: 23.46 in 24.49 in 23.21 in
    Sidewall Height: 4.73 in 5.24 in 4.60 in
    Radius: 11.73 in 12.24 in 11.60 in
    Circumference: 73.70 in 76.93 in 72.91 in
    Overall Diameter Difference: + 4.21% - 1.07%

    If you change from 185/65 to 205/65
    * the brakes might not be able to handle the bigger tires
    * loss of torque (slower acceleration due to bigger diameter)
    * the wider and higher tires might hit the fenders, frame and coilsprings
    * may need to adjust wheel alignment and camber
    * the wider tires might be too wide for the stock wheels
    * wider tires mean higher gas consumption

    If you really want to change the size of your tires it's better if you pick 195/60. Your tires will look a little wider and a little lower without sacrificing your suspension settings and the integrity of your braking power. Since the diameter of 195/60 is smaller, expect a very little increase in gas consumption because the tires will be rotating more per kilometer.

    KBR is right, the stock size is still the best.

    well, masyadong malapad ang 205.. specially if the rims are only 14x5.5 to 14x6. ok sana kung naka 15x6.5 to 15x7" rims.. maraming tire choices. pero for a 14".. I'd stay stock. mas comfortable pa ang ride and mas mura pa ang gulong.


    aite, peace.
