Try 195/70 instead. THe 65 is pretty thin for the car, like Dave Lotman said.

I actually had 205/70s before. They worked all right, but I think a little wide for the rims.

Tires vary greatly by type. Get one with a stiff, straight sidewall. The usual all season type tires are usually too squishy on the side to do you very good.

That tire size is probably too small to give you proper gearing or height

of your car off the ground. A 196/65-14 might be better. The main problem

is there really isn't a lot of 14 inch sizes compatible with the stock

185/70-14. you could look around for a 205/65-14 but I don't know if they

make that. Either way you are going taller or shorter than stock by a

noticeable amount. I used to run the 195/70-14 but I wanted a much taller

tire for my car at the time. Nowadays I would not want that much of an increase in diameter. If you like steel wheels but want a larger tire

try to get some 15 inch steel wheels from a late model 7 series. That

would be a wide enough wheel that you could use turbo size tires. 195/60-15
