right just like every one elese in the us but if you look at the oversees versions of the car they come stock with 14 inch rims when suzuki imported the car they changed the rims prob because it wos easer to get the 15 in tiers or something but im trying to figer out what wheels and tiers this car wos orriganly designed to run on

Mine came with 195/55R15 as well. It handles reasonably well with them, but the original Kumho Ecsta HP4 rubber is absolute shit in wet weather.

They may be spec'd with other tire in other countries but were always spec'd for 15" tires here in the USA.

Try Canada and England for the Chevy Versions might have another choice!!

Canadian Chevy gets the same OEM tire size.

But I've seen a few owners do like me and buy 185/60R15 instead. More choices AND almost 25% cheaper. Decent winter tire were almost impossible to find in the "OEM" size.

I'll let you know how it handles later, since my winter wheels aren't installed yet. But I don't expect much difference except the 1.3% speedo mismatch.

Load rating is the same, but speed rating is a bit lower... I don't plan on "flying" over 140km/h with that car!
