195 60 tires are a bummer
 

I'm in need of tires. I like the fact that my Scion xD is unique, but regret the fact that so are the tires. I really dislike the Bridgestone Turanza that came standard (195 60 16), but as has been noted, not much to choose from as far as replacements. I'm thinking about Michelin HydroEdge in a 205 55 16. Has anyone tried this size or tire. I don't want to mess up a computer, odometer, speedometer or anything else. I just want to make sure before I spend several hundred dollars and need some reassurance! I love the car:icon_smile:, just not the tires!:(

you should be fine with the Michelin tires.

Oooo where do you live? I still have my stock 195/60-16's in my garage, 11k mi on them just sitting there! They're Dunlop sometimes... I forget. Heck if you're close enough (a state away maybe?) I'll drive halfway to give them to you :P

Try a different size. 195/60 is a horrible size for the car, and I never did like the stock Bridgestones. check out 205/55's or 205/60's, both read within 1.5% of the stock size tires on the speedo and have plenty of options.

both should fit the stock 6.5" width rim with no problem

I am thinking of running 195/65 for the winter, I will let you guys know what happens, but I dont forsee any major issue asside from my speedo being off a little...

hehe the joys of Louisiana....... my winter tires are ultra performance summer tires.....

looks like you are in California? I live in Northwest Ohio, so if we would meet in Nebraska.... Anyway, thanks a lot for the offer. I believe that I am going with a 205/55 or a 215/55 in a Michelin.
