ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Will these Tires affect Speedo?

    195/65/14
    Will they throw off the speedometer?

    And whats your opinion on Falken ZIEX ZE329 tires? Are they the great all-season tires that they claim to be?

        When your speedometer says 60, you'll be going 59.4 mph

        Here's the most common tire size calculator on the net.

                  the miata calc is nice...but this is better

                  When speedometer reads 60mph actual speed will be 59.4mph: less than 1% slower.

                          ^ This guy is right Nate.

                          Your 195/65 R14 can work. It is about 0.23 inches short in diameter than stock and you're allowed +/- 0.4 inches.

                          This a winter wheel setup you're considering?

                          I have no info on your specified tires. I do have experience with Falken Ziex ZE912 and they are decent all-season. They perform better in the dry than they do in the wet or snow. They are rated 60,000 miles and will meet or come shy of that, with proper tire rotation and no significant alignment issues.

                          I previously had BF Goodrich Traction T/A and found those to be better all-around tires than ZE912, noticeably better in wet, snow and cornering.
