Can P185/65 R14 Nordic winter tires be used on Civic Dx(P185/70R14)?

Question

And they are asking for CAD100 a set (used for 1 season) w/o rim, pls kindly adv if the price is ok.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Physically they will fit but it is the wrong size.  Overall diameter is too small which will change your odometer and speedometer readings (you will be going slower than you think and rack up more kilometers than you have actually driven).  It will also change final drive gearing which will reduce fuel economy.  Finally, these tires do not have sufficient load carrying capacity at the recommended inflation pressures so you will have to pump them with more air.  That combined with the lower sidewall will reduce ride quality.

As a professional working in the tire industry if you brought these into my shop I would refuse to put them on.

Answer 2

good.

They will fit. Tiny bit smaller in diameter, but nothing noticable.

IDK what that amount of money translates to in US, but $100 USD is hella good for 4 snow tires. I don't think I could get 'em for a golf-cart that cheap.
