I was simply going to go with a 195/50/15 tire on lightweight 15" wheels. However, I am considering going with a 14" wheel/tire, too. That being said, I'm not finding much in the way of higher-performance 185/60/14 tire options outside of the Dunlop Star Specs.
Anyone running a 185/60R14 on their Mirage, and if so, what tire is it?
Have you considered 185-55-15 tires on 15" wheels? There are some decent choices in this tire size and the speedometer difference is negligible.
Not really. I think I'd simply go 195/50/15 if I opt for a 15" wheel/tire. Plus, they're generally cheaper than a 185/55 and closer to the factory gearing from a performance aspect.Quote:

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza P165/65R14's on my '14 Mirage, and so far, so good. Only 10,000 kms on them, I went from the original 14" Dunlops the car came with. They fit right on the factory rims.
RE92's are by no means a performance tire. They were the OE tire on Subarus 15-20 years ago, and were terrible in all conditions.Quote:

Retro tire? I'm not sure if you have the 5-speed but you get better traction on the R92s, I think, in a sense, it's hard to compare apples to oranges because its all diffferent where you're driving or if you're like grandma on the forklift real easy or giving it
