hi all

ive myvi with 175 65 14r..and my front tires are botak!
so i contacted a tyre shop today n they told me IF i wanted cheaper tires, i can opt to change the new tires to 185 60 14r...wat u guys think bout this?

mechanic said i can put the current rear tyres at the front and put the NEW 185 60 14 ones at the rear..

is this advisable?...will it change the feel of the driving or damage anything in a long run?
pls advise SIFUs!!

thanks

•175 means the width of the tyre face is 175mm (6.89 inches)
•65 means that the size of the sidewall is 65% of the width of the tyre face
•R14 means that the tyre is designed to fit 14 inch rims
