Tire Size Options for '99 ZX2

Hi all,

Here's a question I was wondering if someone would have the answer to:

What are my tire size options (other than the factory ones) for my '99 ZX2?
The label on the door panel says either 185/65/14's or 185/60/15's. I could keep my fingers crossed and hope to find a decent-looking tire in those sizes, but are there other sizes which are safe to run and won't mess with the transmission or my fuel-efficiency? Finding something sporty, maybe with a lower profile would be great, but not while sacrificing the health of the drivetrain. Know what I mean?

I know quite a bit about my vehicles, but this is rocket science to me.

Re: Tire Size Options for '99 ZX2

Those tires are your best bet. But if you insist on a smaller/bigger tire, you want to go to your local Ford dealer, although you may get the same results by going to a Michelin supplier/Tire store. I hope this helps you. If not I might be able to give you a few more suggestions
