    Yes...you can do that. Those tires are slightly taller than the original equipment tires on your car, so you will have a slight (less than 3%) error on your speedometer/odometer.

    Go to the website below, plug in both tire sizes, and it will show you the exact difference...

    You can use those, too. There's almost no diameter difference between 175-65-14 and 165-70-14. For $75, go for it!

    Quick question. I just ordered my new 2017 mirage 5 speed. Would I be able to use 165/75r14 tires. My intention to bring down the Rpm slightly while on the freeway which will be 90% of my driving or will the added height be to much.

    You could do that, but the RPM drop you will get is pretty marginal. You might lower your RPM by 150 or 200 RPMs?!? Here's an example comparing your factory tires against a 165/75/14...
