The RR of a 195/60R14 is 294.8mm so a bit smaller than orig but acceptable.
Can also use 205/60R14 with RR of 300.8mm which is larger by only 2.8mm.

jackaroo, salamat bro. still have question f u dont mind, any negative effects if have this bigger tire?

jaycv,

A bigger tire will make your gearing taller so less torque for acceleration but better fuel mileage on long trips. Will also affect the accuracy of your speedometer/ odometer.

If the car is used for daily driving, i would not go above a 1 inch increase over stock tires.

So its still an acceptable rolling radius..

thanks jackaroo!
