i think these tires i'm looking at will fit, but its slightly more of a difference than i'd like so i'm asking for more of an expert/experienced opinion than my own here.



driving a 2004 hyundai accent GSI. this is the sport model in canada, so i have 14" rims. stock tire size is P185/60/R14



a friend is offering me some used snow tires cheap - P185/70/R14



problem is that by the calculators this is a 6% difference when the normal recommended is 3%....however this is only in tire diameter.



what do you guys think?

 

They will be fine as long as you have the clearance, is your car lowered? The speedo will be off though.

 

yeah speedo will read slow, but thats alright by me. car in question is stock. i'm going to take a close look with el ghetto tape measure tonight or tomorrow.



BTW love the G4 quotes man

 

G4's quote is priceless

 

think i'm going to give the tires a miss, damn shame! winter tires are almost a necessity here. i measured only 1" clearance between the edge of the tire with STOCK size (P185/60/R14) between the back of the wheel and the fender (front). i think adding more would be too tight.
