Re: Tire size question

So what you are saying is that I could correct my problem with a 225/60/14 ...... I wonder if that tire would fit on my current 14" rim ?

Actually the 70 Series fits better with the closest to the original revolutions per mile.

This helps visually:

yea maybe the P185/70/R14
It would probably look a lot better then a really wide tire (225)
