WIDER TIRE SIZE?

Post by jrors »

Hope you all can help me out on this one fellow MXers: I plan on keeping on my stock 14" rims on my RS, however, as we all know, the stock tire is at 185/65......... but I want to either go with a: 195/60 Michelin Energy MXV4 PLUS.... or a 205/60 Michelin Pilot XGT H4.
I'm hoping if any of you guys have one of those tire sizes on your car, and if so, does it have a nice look to it? And also, performance wise, can you feel any difference. Also, if you all have any pics of it, will you please post it.
The reasons I'm doing this is because, I like the rims it came with and I want a slightly wider tire.

Thanks in advance guys!!
