Tire size change

[bsg916]

Can I guess from the official wheel and tire guide stickie that I can swap my factory 185/60r15 to 195/60r15 on the factory steel wheels with no adverse affects to speedo and stuff like that? If this has been answered already please just thread as I am on my phone and searching and reading can be slow and painful. Lol. Thanks

yes.. 185 to 195 will not make a difference in speedo or other stuff like that..

WARNING:
YOU WILL EXPERIENCE MORE GRIP ON THE ROAD

No problem with 195/60's; in fact, I think they make for a better fitment than 185/60's.

For future reference (so you can pick and choose and figure out tire size on the go) the first number - 195 - is how wide the tire is at its widest point. 195 mm.

the second number - 60 - is 60% of the first number (which happens to be 117. the sidewall is 117 mm tall.

:D

the sidewall difference between your 185's and those 195's is 6 mm, your speedo wont hardly change at all! (the 185's being 6mm shorter)

How will that affect fuel economy?

i would imagine such a slight change would be near impossible to tell :x
