I would like to upgrade my tire from regular 185-75R-14 to 205-70R-14
Would this new size fit properly, will it affect the turning radius? meaning
will the tires rub on the wheel weld (the 205 up from 185)

Thanks

Peter

Are you going to buy new rims to go with the new tyres?
If not do reconsider as 205's do not sit properly on 185 rims.

I would think bigger tyres will have minimal affect on your turning circle
but they may well foul some of the suspension / body parts. You will just
have to try them out.

Cheers
Paul.

I was surpirsed to see that this change only makes about 0.9 mph change
at 60 mph.
