Re: 185/65 R14 vs 185/70/14?
The difference is that the height of the tire from the ground to the
bottom end of the rim will be smaller, but you won't really be able to SEE the difference. The car will 'slightly' be lower. The concept of the 70 & 65, is that it determins how high your tire will be in proportion to the width of the tread/tire. The lower the number, the lower you'll be. You can see a significant difference between a tire labeled xxx/70 R14 to something that may be xxx/40 R17 (the Rxx is basically the diameter length of the rim/wheel).

Your speedometer will show about 3% higher with the 185/65's than with
the 185/70's and the odometer will rack up miles about 3% faster. Your gearing will seem about 3% lower. All in all, the differences are small enough not to be of any practical concern. canuguy wrote: > > My 95 accord uses 185/70 R14 tires > i can have a deal on 185/65 R14 tires. > Are the siuzes comparable?
