Chris,
If your wearing the stock 4.5 inch wide wheel, 189/60/14 will work well.
I have 5.5 alloys using 195/60/14 with no problems
Right now I have the racing tires on 205/55/14 - but I think your offset has
to be just right for these.

Hi List,
I got my roadster from the States latly. Tires size is 185/75 R14.
Here in Europe 75 is only for light weight trucks, and these tyres are
reinforced, also called 8 plie.
I also want to change the tyres to some Yokohama, but which size?
185/70/14-195/60/14????
