i have 3 185/65/14 tires on my car and one 175/65/14. is this ok? the guy that sold me the tires said he rode on them for a pretty long time, but i, being the ignorant one, would rather ask my trusty fellow h-t's.

 

where is the smaller tire located?

 

well it isnt really that much difference but i dont think id have them like that for too long. If you do decide to keep it that way, make sure to put the smaller one on the back so as to not screw up your diff in the trans.

agreed. but dont push your car too much, this will affect the handligh dynamics in between left hand turns and right hand turns
