what size tire?
I'm getting a set of yokohama avs es 100's and was wondering if you guys think i should go with a 205/60/14 or the 195/60/14. I'm putting these on my stock 87 base rims. the 195's a little lower profile but the 205's a little wider.

well i might be completly wrong on this but going with a bigger sidewall would give you a little more cusion therefore taking a little away from handling so wouldn't it negate being that 10mm bigger? so by going with the 195 the ride might be slightly stiffer helping out handling? also by going with a little smaller tire wouldn't it weight less?

You'd be crazy to put a 225 on that.

i don't wanna go with that big of a sidewall, that's why i was thinking of going with the 195/60/14's, although betting the 205's in back and the 195's in front does sound like a good idea for performence.

I'd go with the 205s, all around, because if you mix match size tires, you can't rotate any of them. Yoko AVS I believe had a specific rotation pattern which means you could only rotate a side, not put the driver's on the passenger side. And I'm sure you wouldn't want 205s in front and 195s in back
