    Stock 88-89 tire size?

    What are the numbers for the stock 14 inch tires on the 88-89 models?

    DX models have stock 13 inch tires I believe. All other models have 14 inch. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    I think for the 86-87 Lx-i's the stock wheel size was 185/70-13 whereas for the 88-89 was 195/60-14 as AZmike said. For the carbed versions I think it was 13s for all four years.

    Mine is a 88 LX-i, and I have 195/60 R14.

    A good set of tires for these rims, Kuhmo Ecsta 716. Check out www.tirerack.com

    Good prices.

    i have 712s, they arent the best of tires. I have them on my BMW 87 535is and they grip very well at all. My Friend just got new 712s, and his old yokohama (which were bald) were still grippier than the new 712s. They are good for their price but like most things in life now, you get what you pay for.

    That may be what is on your car now, but that's not the stock tire size. Take another look at the sticker in your door jamb. 195/60R14 is the stock size for that car.
