195-60 15's on an 89MTX?

Ive used the search option but i couldnt find anything. Would a set of yokohama (sp) 195 60 R15s fit on my SHO. I really need tires bad. Right now it has 215s on it and they are dry rotted and do not perform well, you can turn the corner and you can hear them squeal and the rear end comes out from under you cause they slip. I found those 195s for $100 bucks for all 4 of them, so i was just wondering if they would fit untill i have enough money to get rims and good tires for it. Thanks Oh and yes i would still be using the stock 89 SHO rim.

sorry to do this but *bump* anyone?

Yes, they would fit.... they would be a bit narrower (20mm) but that wouldn't be enough to cause much of a difference...

Yeah, they'll fit. But they'll be narrower and quite a bit shorter than the stock tires. Don't expect much better performance out of these tires. Tires are not a part of the car to skimp on.

If you think the car has no grip now, wait until you get those mounted up - Thats like putting a bicycle tire on a dirt bike.
