I bought 195/55/14 Khumo Victoracers but they are very small in diameter.
About 3/4'' smaller than 185/60/14 ! If your running stock gearing, you can
expect a better take off, much better handling (especially from the Khumos!)
a harsher ride and lower gas mileage, as well as a speedometer that is WAY
OFF! They will fit a 5.5 rim but 6 is the recommended.

The 205/55's are a great size, about the same diameter as the 195/60's but
wider. the have the same rim needs as the 195/55's




Bridgestone and Dunlop make a HP tire in 14" but it was made for the Miata
but it's 195/55.

I think Hoosier makes a 205/55 also.
