I have four snow tires which are P185 70R14(From my 1987 Camry). Can I > use it on my 1995 Camry V6 in winter time? The current tires are P205 > 60R15. Thanks.

If the wheels fit. Obviously, you can't mount 14" tires on 15" rims.>

You will notice a big difference in handling and the speedo will be off.> But, the skinnier tires will give you a better 'cut' in snow.

My P185 70R14 tires are on rim. I did some research on internet.>

My conclusion is: I can use the old winter 185 70R14 tires (on old rim) >but it will affect the mileage because of the smaller size.>

It's the circumference that makes the difference in MPH
