    175/65/14 vs 185/60/14

    After 21k miles on the stock tire I realized they are just awful. I want to change to something better and i love Michelin. Any suggestions?

    21k miles! How long have you had your Mirage?

    I'm sure others will chime in with ideas... everyone has an opinion on tires. (Mine is: I value LRR... but that's not what you want to hear!)

    Oh, and welcome to the forum.

    I am running 185-60-14 on wider-than-stock wheels. Grips way better than stock. Comfort is still on the good side, because of the super-soft-suspension.

    How did that affect gas mileage?

    I'm the wrong person to ask as I have a lead foot. I would say no more than 2mpg less - that's aiming high.
