Question about Tires on Ion I
Does anyone happen to know if 185/65R14 tires will fit on an Ion 1
built for 185/70R14? I have a line on some cheap tires/rims, but of course they are not quite the same size. What will happen if I use 65s instead of 70s? Thanks! Tom |

Check the wheel well clearance to see if is allow. Aspect ratio is calulate by height (of side wall) / Width of tire tread = 70% of the second tire. Even they may fit. The new tires installed will not give you the correct vehicle speed. I may run faster than the speed seen on the speedometer. Besides, the PCM/ECM and Transmission (TCM) may use the speed for other calulation as well. Beaware when you replace them. |
