Nissan Fb15 Original Tire Sizes

[Nilupa]

My FB15 came with 185/65R14 Falken tires which had fitted by previous owner. Recently I replaced two tires(front) and I put 185/70/R14 Toyo (Jap) brand tires.

Now my speedometer reading is bit lesser than previous as obviously it should.

As per the calculation it is nearly 3% decrease from previous. But what I want to know is how much it is different from the original value i.e. what I want to know is the original tire size it came from the factory..

Also is it ok to go with 185/70R14 slightly higher profile tyre ?

What are the disadvantages or the advantages of this move.. But guys this is the first time I am experiencing Toyo tires. Its quite smoother than all other tires I have experienced with..

Stock tyre size is 175/70R14 and 185/65R14 is very much similar to that.

Nilupa,

The original tyre size your car came with is very likely indicated on the sticker which is usually found on the driver side front door pillar, which also indicates the recommended tyre pressure and other compatible tyre sizes.

This link gives you the full specs for the FB15 (year 2000 and even other models) including original tyre size which is 175/70/R14
