can you be more specific? what are you after in a tyre? street? track? budget?

generally oem size is 195/55/15... so anything that has a similar diameter is recommended so your speedo isn't off. other popular sizes are 195/50/15 (lower profile).

tyres range from $100 for cheap to $200+ for sports/street tyres.

The springs that you have really dont have much to do with the tyres that you choose. That being said you dont exactly have the best suspension setup if you are using king springs.

You should do a bit more research into tyres (ie wheel width, size, performance criteria, price etc) before posting.

195/50/15, good size on a 7in wide rim :thumbsup:

The are stretched slightly over the rim to reduce sidewall flex, are very comfortable on a street car, and are relativly inexpensive
