Tires: tire size change, stock tire size, saturn sl2


Question
I have a 1998 Saturn SL2 stock tire size is 185/65/R15.
I had a blow out on the back right. Replace both back tires with 195/65/R15.  Now I have a flat front left.  Need to replace front tires.  Can I do that with stock size or do the front and back tires need to be the same? If the answer is the same size can I use the 195/65/r15 all the way around?

Answer
Kirt,

It's best to have 4 of the same tire all around - meaning 4 of the same size, brand, tire line and state of wear.

What you have is a mess that is going to involve a compromise of some sort.  Short of buying 4 185/65R15's, I think the best thing to do is get 2 195/65R15's as close as possible to the other 2.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you if the 195's will fit on the front.  cataloging all the possible vehicles and the fenders is near impossible.  All I can suggest is give it a try and hope for the best!!
