Yes that is what I meant. The 185/65/14 and 195/60/14 have the same height sidewall. However, the 195 is approximately 10mm wider than the 185.

Ah the insanity of it all....!!!!!!!


Ah ok, I getcha now.  Thank you.

Oh, I'm already going insane!  ;D

The 195/60/14 actually has a taller sidewall and may increase the symptoms you are trying to avoid. The performance winters are still very capable and exhibit the characteristics you seem to be describing. I think you would be pleasantly surprised.


Wouldn't a tire size 185/65/14 have a taller sidewall?  ???   Yeah, after a few suggestions here, I will be looking into a winter performance tire.   

Thanks again. :)

I think morty means to say that a 195/60R14 has a taller sidewall than a 175/65R14.

Good luck on your search, and let us know how it all turns out.


Yeah, I got confused.  I thought he was comparing it to the 185/65/14 tire size, not my current 175/65/14.

I will let you guys know what I decide to do. 

Thanks again.
