    Hi
    My vectra has tyres that are 185/70r14 on it,
    Can I fit a set of 185/60 14 with wheels on my car?.

    What is the difference between 70 and 60 on tyre sizes?

    Many thanks for any help

    You could fit them but.........

    The tyres are lower profile so the rolling circumference will be lower and
    the speedo will be out to some extent, it will show faster than you are
    going and the car will accelerate faster but use more fuel rev faster for
    any true road speed. Don't bother to be honest.

    Take a look at this web site and you can input the tyre sizes to get the
    exact impact of the tyre changes.
