Ok, my father had a junky '99 Contour which had brand new tires on it... Since mine were worn we swapped them... Only difference is that mine were 185/70 R14, where as the other ones were 185/75 R14... Now the new ones have a bigger diameter, therefore won't my odometer/speedometer be off? I did the calculations - going one mile in my old tires is like going one mile and 150 feet in the new ones for the same number of tire rotations... It is also the same as going one extra mile about every 35 miles... Is this going to be a problem (besides me putting less miles on my car)? :shrug: I mean, some people lift their trucks and put double the size of stock tires on, LOL...
EDIT: One more thing, how much are you supposed to torque the standard lug nuts too? I thought I read 52ft/lbs somewhere, but I can not find where...
