Running smaller tires

I have a set of 14" steelies with snow tires for the season. They normally run on 185-70-R14 tires. I am a but short on cash this season and was wondering of i can run on 185-60-R14 without any problems. I have Dunlop Graspics on them now but they are worn and they dont have them in that size anymore. The highest they have is 60 series. Im dropped on Sportlines/Blues if it matters.


Thanks

Re: Running smaller tires

185-60-R14 will work just fine, the only side effect will be the car being slightly lower and the speedometer/odometer will be off a bit. You can find out exactly how much lower and how much the speedo/odo will be off using the tool on the site below.

Re: Running smaller tires

or an 195 instead, depending on price (14" are starting to get expensive and hard to find, though...)
