Default 195-xxR15

alright, if i upgrade to a 195 series tire, what size sidewall should i get? the normal 65 or should i make it lower to 60.

Right now i am running 185-65R14. But I have some R/T rims so i'll be also upgrading to 15" rims instead of 14"

where did you find 15" r/t rims????
1st gen r/t rims are 14's and 2nd gen r/t rims are 16's

on a 14 inch rim, if you wanna run 195's then a 60 series tire gives the car a really nice stance....i run 195/60-14's on all my cars....

here is a few sizes that will work...though your speedo might be a few mph off...
215/60-14
205/60-14
195/60-14
195/65-14
195/70-14
185/60-14
185/65-14
185/70-14
175/70-14
175/75-14

205/55-15
205/50-15

205/50-16
195/60-16

215/40-17
205/40-17

215/35-18

when I used to work at a tire store the rule of thumb was if you go down a series go up a tire size right I have the 185/60/14 sI wasthinking the 195/60/14 myself but was also comtemplating the 205/60/14 myself but I will see what the price difference is then go from there
