A nice size for the stock wheel which is recommended in Paul Grimshaw's performance book is a 195/65-14. Personally I've used 195/70 and 205/70. The
195/70 worked OK but was a little tall. The 205/70 were horrible because they really were too tall and killed the acceleration and the sidewalls allowed alot
of flex which hurt the handling. Maybe a 205/65 would also work well. The other
problem is a lack of performance tires in those sizes. Going up to a 15 inch or
even 16 will give you a much wider range of choices.
