Toyo T1R on stock 14" alloys

Post by kpcliff »

Rookie question: Would the Toyo T1R in size 195/55R14 with the stock alloy rims (14x5.5) be an OK combination on a lowered '92 Sunburst? Just drove down from Portland with this car, runs nice, but badly needs new tires. I want good stuff, but can't fit wheels into the budget just yet. Need to spend money on suspension and roll bar first!

Yes, that tire will work on those rims....though you won't really get the benefit of the wider tire on such a narrow rim. You might check into your local club for an owner looking to unload some of the 94+ factory 14x6 out of their garage because they went to 15 inch, etc. That factory 14x6 would be a much better choice for that size tire.
