Hello, I used to have a Honda accord 91. I bought winter tires for it last year, got one season out of them, and bought new tires for it in april. It finally had enough at 250K miles, so I bought a used Civic. it's a 97. The accord, used 185/70/14, the civic uses 185/65/14's... It need tires, i was looking for some, but a friend of mine seems to think that I might be able to use the 185/70's on the civic??

What Do you think? Same width, but I don't know about the Ratio or how that works, I'd like to save some money....

 

i would not put that big of tire on a civic ever.
look at 195-55-14.
do you want to keep the same wheel?

 

op, you'll be fine. your speed will be off though.

 

personally never go up on the middle number.

My del sol came with 185-60-14's I upgrade to 195-60-14's. (width, sidewall, rim size)

I'll never go back to 185.... next though is upgrade to a 15 or 16 with 205's and a nice big brake kit....

 

you do realize that your "middle number" did go up right. the middle number is a ratio not a number. it is a percentage of the tire width. so you going with a wider tire with the same middle number makes your sidewall slightly larger.

 

Yea, I wanna keep the same wheel. I guess I shouldn't do it....

 

you could do it, but i wouldnt just my 2 cents.

 

185/60/14 Thats the size I use for winter on my honda steelies
I believe thats the lowest profile you can do on a 14 for everyday use tires.
