Hi,

I am poor and had to replace all four tires. Found a used set that was a little different from the original tires. The ones I bought are a little taller and a little smaller width wise.

The ride actually is much smoother but the steering feels a little stiffer, a little harder to turn the wheel. Of course that may be because the old tires were apparently way over inflated.

Anyway, they seem fine. I understand that when the speedo says 60 mph I may actually be going 61, but other than that, anyone know a problem with this size?

Again, the ride seems much smoother but that again may be because of the apparent over inflation problem with the last set.
