Cool ... I know I wouldn't have expected it - a place these days that actually offers some level (if still not a lot) of customer sastifaction resolutions.

A 185R14 will not have a stiffer sidewall, as its profile is higher than that of a 195/75/14. Results seem mixed as whether it's a 78 or 82 profile ... with a diameter of 25.6", it calculates to about a 80-profile.

You will get better handling out of a touring class tire, so still look into that class of tires first in the 195/75/14 size. I would not consider the truck tire.
