Default Tire size difference(pics)

I have tried many different tire combos to see what works. Here are what a 195/55/15, 235/60/15 and 26x10x15 slick look next to each other. The 235/60/15 measures 26x8 and the 195/55/15 is about 23x7.

GOOD STUFF RON! i wanted to change over to a larger drag radial such as something in the 235 range but im looking to see if anyone makes a 235/55 but i think no one does.

i knew you had a set, so how did they work for you as far a being able to be driven on, street wise

Here is how the the 195's compare to the slicks. I drove the car around the nieghborhood with the 195's on to test out my tranny and i must say it is an experience with hardly no rubber.

actually they are racing harts. The rim that is most similar to these would be a 4 lug Jdm Itr wheel except the integra wheel is not 4x100 so it wount fit a civic. I'm probably going to use them on my Crx when it's done since they are not wide enough for the tire size i want to run on my civic.

They only come in 235/60/15's Bfg makes some and so does Mickey Thompson. A new tire just came out by Avon. It comes in a 225/45/15. It is a compition tire(autocross). It looks like an Et street. I've seen them in a tire rack advertisment.

They stopped making these wheels about 8 years ago. They were white when i got them but the paint was coming off due to age so i had them powdercoated.
