Default Tires

I'm buying some Falken Ziex Ze-512's

I have stock honda alloy wheels (185/65/14)...but it is my understanding that 195/60/14 will fit. Which should I go for?

I have tires on my car now that are obviously the $20 specials at an autoparts store and are beaten to hell. The pressure does not hold very well, and after a couple weeks they are way low in every tire. My dad was trying to tell me that he thinks all my wheels are bents, and that tires cannot cause pressure loss. But im pretty sure i've heard other wise. I certainly have not bent the rims like that but have only had the car for the past 12,000 miles. Any thoughts on which is more likely? Thanks

if there alloys, they corode between the rim and rubber. when u change tires they will sand the rim and no more leak.
make sure they change your valvew stems 2

I run the 205 width 14" Ziex's on my car, they're decent for the price.

I was considering azenis but this is my dd and i would prefer to be able to drive if we get some bad weather. Why don't some of you like ziex's?? Ive never really heard anything bad about them...They're not the best wet handlers but they seem to be fine
