tire size

I just purchased a set of 15"x7" rims for my crx. What would be the better size of tire, 195 50 15 or 205 50 15? Thanks

Go with 195/50-15. Faster turn-in, faster acceleration, less cost.

go with the 205/50/15 ... closer to overall stock diameter and larger contact patch.

the general rule is the widest tires on the widest rims that will fit under the car.

I ve done some lookin and on the falken site they match 205 to 6.5" rims and 195's to 6" rims.
Now my rims are 7" so wouldn't 195 be too narrow?

i'd go with 195-50-r15... i dont know what the overall diameter of your stock wheel are on a crx but for me the stock size was 185-60-r14... so the 195-50-r15 is a perfect match
