Just need a quick question for this one.

My original stock one is P175/65R 14 tire for 5 DR Yaris Hatchback.

I am planning to get All-Season Michelin Hydroedge tire for it and the spec is
P185/65R 14 or P185/70R14.

Will any of those fit onto my yaris and which one might fit better?
I am not familiar with fitment of tire, need help:confused:

The 185/65/14 is almost identical size as your stock tire and will fit good. It's just a little bit taller but not enough to make a difference.

I'll stick with 185 65 14, if you use the table below it will tell you that you're 2.2% below and you want to keep it below 3%

You'll find 185/60R14 should have an array of performance options. This size was very common amongst the 80's and early 90's for small performance car tyre size.

Failing that, if you want to go 15", 195/50R15 is your next step up.
