    Im looking into some new tires for my 14inch magnum 500's and the tire I like is 195-60 would this tire give me enough side wall? the current tires are 195-70.

    You'll have to see what sizes are available in the brand of tire you want, 14" sizes are kinda limited these days.

    195's are WAY too short, even in the 70's. 245/60 used to be the fattest tires in 14's, that's what you should shoot for the rear tires. and something like 235/70's up front.
