I want to put these 195/65r/14 in front because the fron ones are almost bald now......will the difference in the height between my front and rear tires will give any problems

Answer 1

New tires mounted on the Front

The worn rear tires have less tread and lower hydroplaning resistance. They can lose their grip on wet roads, causing the rear end of the vehicle to swing around out of control.

New Tires Mounted on the Rear

Deeper tread with greater hydroplaning resistance helps new tires grip wet roads. The driver can steer to compensate for the lower wet traction of the worn front tires and safely maintain control.

Answer 2

with the front tires being bigger around, they will affect your RPM as well a handling, but not by much. handling can be solved by getting a better turning radius on the suspension. your RPMs won't be affected by much as long as these new tires aren't too much bigger than the stock tires or whatever the car has been using.

Answer 3

New tires go on the back.  Toss your baldies out, and put your rear tires on the front.  However, that is a fair jump in size, you may get some rubbing if you haven't had it up on the hoist to make sure there is enough room.  If you have a Ford Escort, which uses 175/65/14 tires, those 195s are too big a step for the front wheel wells to accommodate, and will rub on turns, and hit on bumps.

Best tread always goes on the rear.  Otherwise, in slippery conditions, your front stops faster, the rear loses traction and you spin wildly out of control more quickly than you can possible react.  No reputable dealer will install 2 new tires on the front unless the rear tires have almost full tread left.
