Can I replace a 195/75r14 tire with a 195/70r14 on the back? All my tires are the same size, 195/75r14's, it won't hurt to use a 195/70r14 will it?

Hi,

It won't physically hurt the vehicle, but it can cause the car to handle differently and not respond the same.

Let me know if you have specific questions. I'll be happy to help.

Take care,

Joe
