Hello
I've a Toyota Corolla xli 1.6lit, 1993. I just want to know as the factory recommend its tires size: 185 65 R14, if I use Dunlop tires, size: 185 70 R13, is there any problem of using this size of tires instead OEM tires size? I mean any problem like car's balance or limitation front tires in maximum turning to the left or right or every things you deem.
Thank you very much

Tire sizes are for comfort and road handling and some juggling around is acceptable depending on customer'r preference.

185/60 is a lower profile tire than 185/70 and would perform better on hard conerings with lesser rolling at higher speeds. Road bumps would however be harsher than 185/70.

185/70 would be more comfortable with a softer ride but high speed cornering would suffer as the higher profile tire would shear more during corners.

Turning radius would not be affected.

You would lose 2 % road speed as indicated by the speedometer due to the tire circumference being 1.5 inch smaller.
