    185/60/14- I can get for free, is the size ok to run?

    I was thinking of putting these on my stock weaves for winter tires. I have a friend who had a civic and he has bridgestone potenzas in the above size. I realize the tires is shorter and narrower and the speedo will be off. Has anybody run this size of tire?

    of course its ok to run. Unless they are wheelbaroow tires......That would be bad

      I actually had those on my car and it sits way too low.
      I was at stock ride height and I couldn't fit a jack under there, even from the side.
      I got some real sized tires with a drop and now its much better.

        So if all I have to pay is 40 bucks for the mounting, is it still bad. If the size sucks than it sucks. But if they aren't that bad, I would do it.

            I ran that size for a while with no problems at all. I think your speedo will be off slightly more than it probably already is.

                    I'm running the same size, also got them for free. I can fit a jack under my car and it's pretty low. If you had trouble fitting a jack under it at stock height than you need a smaller jack.

                    Speedo is a little further off than normal, When the Speedometer reads 70 the GPS Reads 66 or 67.

                      i wouldn't recommend it for winter tires as you will lower your car significantly with these tires.

                            Agreed with above, I wouldn't pay for em, but if they're free go for it. Honestly I think bottlecaps look better with bigger tires anyhow, and they're a lot more practical.
