Bought wrong tire size for my wagon! 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Zee on  Thu Mar 22 20:17 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Too many years driving only sedans......

My first wagon. Bought 185/70-14's thinking all models took the same size.

Door placard specs a 185-14 (Euro metric)

Tirerack.com has a size conversion chart that says this 185-14 converts to a 70-series at 205/70-14. That's about 1.5-2" taller than the 185/70-14.

Does this sound right?

The front tires that same with the car are some PEP BOY cheapies at 185/75-14. But they have good tread, so, I'd like to keep them.

What's the cheapest way I can solve this?

The two tires I bought are snow tires, good for my two sedans, but I don't need any for another several seasons!
