The '70' tire is higher, but marginally. Should work on same car.


Can 185 70 r14 substitute for 175 65 r14?

No, the 185 70 r14 tire cannot be substituted for a 175 65 r14 tire. The 70 series tire has a larger diameter and is not recommended that you substitute on a 65 series tire.

If all other numbers are the same, a 75 will be about an inch higher than a 70


What is the difference between a 65 and a 70 in tire size?

The 65 series tire will be wider if both sizes are equal. Example is 205/70-15 versus 205/65-15. The 65 series will be wider but have less overall diameter. The series of the tire is a height to width ratio. A 65 series tire has a height that is 65% of the width, so a 205/65 tire is 205 millimeters wide and 205*.65=133.25 millimeters tall (rim to tread). Since it's usually not recommended to change tire diameters, if you want to go wider or narrower you need to change the width and series. For instance a 205/70 will have almost the same diameter as a 225/65.


Can you substitute 215-65-R15 for 215-70-R15?

Normally, yes. The 65 tire is slightly shorter that the 70. A much better swap would be to go with a 225/65-15.


Can you replace a tire 255 70 15 with a 255 65 15?

No, this is a bad swap. If you want to go with a 65 series tire then install a 275/65-15 which is almost identical in overall diameter.

Are 225 70R 16 tires interchangeable with 225 65R 16?

Ideally you should have four tires on the car that match. With that being said you can certainly replace your 65r tires with 70r tires. The 70 refers to the width of the tire and a 70 is slightly narrower than a 65. The lower the number the wider the tire. I would not put 1 65 width tire on one side and a 70 width on the other side of the car, they will wear unevenly.


Can 205 70 15 tire replace a 195 65 15 tire?

No, absolutely not. This is a terrible swap as the 205 tire will be 5% larger in overall diameter than the 195 tire. Your speedometer will read 57 mph at a true 60 mph. Power, ride, handling, braking, and fuel mileage will be adversely effected. If you wish to go to a 70 series tire then go to a 185/70-15. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.


Will tire chains for a 185 65 14 fit a 185 70 14 tire?

The difference between tire sizes is 1.29in. So if on your 185/65-14 tires you have an extra inch and a half of slack adjustment they will more than likely work with the bigger 70 profile tires. Remember that if your tires are quite worn when you put the chains on you will need more than 1.29'' of slack because the new tires will have more meat on them and a bigger diameter.


Can you replace a 255 70 18 tire with a 265 70 18 tire?

Yes. Your speedometer will be slightly off, but only by .95 MPH at 55 MPH and 1.12 MPH at 65 MPH.
