Default Going to a 185/75/14?

I've been needing a new set of tires and I was checking out a few websites. I saw the 185/75/14 run a bit cheaper than a set of 185/70/14 (same brand - Hankook). I ran the tire sizes through the calculators and it appears to be a tire that will be roughly .75 inch taller than the factory 185/70. I have a plain jane 1995 Accord with about 240k miles and was wondering if this tire would cause me any issues other than speedometer being off a bit?

Thanks and I appreciate your opinions!

I doubt it'll cause you any problems unless you are lowered. One thing you should be conscious of is that they will be a different load rating so you may need to run a different air pressure than stock. If you have a discount tire near you they will test fit the tire on your car to see if it rubs or anything for free before you purchase it.

Most likely your speedometer will now be more accurate. There shouldn't be any problems. The EX comes with 195/60/15.
