Hello
my tires are looking really low and im looking at a set of tires that are near new for 150 which is cheap.....
however the size is P185-65 R 14 BF..... currently on my car I have 185/60/ r 14.....
In my book and on the door it says 185/60/r14...
would the 65 be a big deal and not fit....think it would rub on turns.... ect..
what do you the experts think....
Thanks!
you should be fine. Just be careful, you will be going 3% faster than what the speedometer is showing.
well i got them as they are in good shape...
it looks like the car will ride a bit higher... not a big deal to me as long as it works....
i have to drive another 15 000km before i switch them over but now i dont have to panic when they run out of tread......
I ran 185/65R14 for a while with no problems. You'll be fine.
5 mills wont matter your speedo will be out like a quarter of a kilometer if your lucky
its actually 18.5 mm added to the diameter of the tire.
if you have 3/4 of an inch, or 19 mm for you canadians, of clearance around your tire now you will be fine.
when i first got my aveo back in july of 2004 as a new car it came with kuhmo 185/65/14's on it. it drove really nice but sometimes it felt like it grabbed every little crack in the road. maybe it was just me being used to my 2002 suburban with the 265/70/17's bf goodrich longtrails and that truck drives really nice. at 50000 when the tires were almost slicks i put on the aveo 195/65/14 bridgestone hp50's. i'm gonna stick with the 195's on the car. i felt it improved the way the aveo handled the road.
195/65R14 is quite the jump, it's 1 3/4" larger diameter than stock. It may ride better but i'm guessing it handles a little sketchy with all that sidewall.
i'm actually very happy with the way the car handles. i feel the its an improvement.
right slow day lolQuote:
