My swift has 205-Rx13 tires on it.Can I put a larger size, 14 to replace them?Would it affect the steering etc?I live out on gravel roads and would like to get some tires to help handle driving on the gravel.Hard on the little guy!
Thanks for help guys!

This will affect the speedo reading i would be looking at a more aggressive tread pattern for better grip, consult a local tyre dealer for his advice.
