I have a size 185/70 R14 tire on my car, I just looked at the owners manual and saw that the tire size should be 185/65 R14. Is this something I should be worried about.

Noodle asked:


I have a 2002 Dodge Stratus R/T. I have the stock 17 inch rims, but I am having them painted and I want a set of tires that doesn’t make the rim look so small, thus making it look like I have after market wheels. The standard tire size, and the size tire I have on it right now, is a 215/50-17. So, what is the skinniest tire I can get? Thanks for your input.

My tire size is 225/65/17. Goodyear put 215/65/17 on without consulting me. What are the ramifications of that change from 225 to 215?
Thanks all for your quick responses. I guess what I really want to know is will this change have any affect on my odometer? Would a slightly smaller tire register more miles traveled than the original size tire?

Factory size is 205/75/15 but I’ve heard I could go to a 235/75/15. I know its a little wider tire but i want more height out of the tire without lifting it.
