What tyre size do you run to keep the speedo correct on a 14" rim?

195/60/R14 was good for me - I had Yokohama Y352s. It was more accurate than the standard wheels!

Thanks for that Fang. What do you mean more accurate? I think the L-series ran at 95km/hr when the Speedo said 100km/hr as standard, are you saying when the Speedo says 100km/hr you are actually going 100km/hr?

Is this what you other 14 inchers run as well?

I ran 195/55/15 that seemed pretty accurate - closer than the 195/50/15 that it had beforehand, anyway. :D

The very handy tyre size calculator, you need Java on your Compuda.
