i live in CO and it snowed today and i relized my car sucks **** in the snow i have 17" rims with nice *** tiers that came with it anyway heres my question
my buddy hooked it up with two studded snow tiers they say p185/60r14 and 825mts anyway i know this wont fit my rims so imma hit the junk yard for some steelies do u guys know any car this tire will fit on, should i just look for any 4bolt that starts with p185 or what, itd be real cool if someone explains how to read the name


thanks

 

r14 means 14 inch rims. thats about all i know.

:P

 

185 = width of tire
60 = height of tire
14 = size of rim

get a 14 inch honda steelie and put it on

 

kool do the ek eg civics come with 185wide steelies or does the width not even matter, thanks man

 

It does not matter what tire came on the car originally.You need some 14 inch steel wheels with the right bolt pattern for your car.If you have a Civic,CRX or Intergra and there is 4 lug nuts holding your wheels on then it is 4x100 bolt pattern.Any auto wrecker etc should have some of these.

 

actually isnt the 60 the percent of the of the width of the tire that the sidewall is. ie the sidewall is 60% of the width.

 

Yes, I believe it's called the aspect ratio. So therefore the wider the tire is, the taller it will be - even if the aspect ratio stays the same. Example: a 205/50/15 would be taller than a 185/50/15 I think.

I'm rocking 205/60/13's on my car.

 

the honda steelies would work that's what mine are...

 

P195/60R14..........The P stands for pmetric or passenger, the 195 represents the width in mm. The 60 is the aspect ratio (percent of the width equals the sidewall heighth) the R stands for radial and 14 is your rim diameter. There are some limitations as far as rim widths when trying to put a fatty wide tire on a skinny wheel, but just about any honda steelie should work for the tire size you got. Just put two on the front and use the e-brake ALOT!
