Tire size?

[Koojo]

1. On the 2000 G20, the tire size is P195/65R15, but on the G20t its P195/60R15. If both of the cars are going the same speed, will the speedometer on one be a little off since the ratio of one tire is different than the other, but the sizes are the same (195/65 vs. 195/60).

2. What other size tires will fit on the stock rims (15")?

Not really since it is always recommended when you increase the size of the tire, you should always have your speedometer recalibrated to spec with the tire.

As for what size tire, there is a post...hhhmmm let me look.

Ahhh yes, look at this thread.

Really? I didnt even know that they had the speedometer recalibration. Where do you usually get that done and for about how much?

[DVSNCYNIKL]

Mechanic. And for about 70-80 bucks.

1. yes, the bigger diameter will be going slightly faster, but not much.

2. i believe the next step up on tire size for stock 15" wheels would probably be either 205/55 or 215/55. These sizes will keep it very close to stock diameter.

Is it worth getteing the 205/55 instead of the stock 195/65? We have snow up here in the winter in Vermont, and some people say the wider the tire, the less stable your car will be. But I doubt that i will be skidding around all over the road. Similar cars I know have the 205/55 wheels, and they seem to be doing fine. But overall (performace, cost, etc..) is it worth getting the the bigger tires on the stock 15" rims? Peace

if it were me, i'd save your money for some bigger wheels and some low profile tires.

I don't think the 205/55 would make you have worse traction, 205's are wider which in turn you should more traction not less.

yah, keep them stock size if you are not going to change wheels size. not worth it. got snow over here too, but the stock affinity tires work just fine.
