About the 185/70R14 size
Classic 2000s economy size, S/T-rated. Only budget and mid-range lines still carry it. Classic side: MGB owners fit this in place of the original 165R14 because it fills the arch on a 14x5 wire or Rostyle wheel, and it is the standard Volvo 240 size. Period-look radials in H rating are available from Vredestein and Pirelli's Cinturato range.
The numbers mean: 185 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 14-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 24.2 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions

Expect $41–$66 per tire for a budget brand, $66–$77 for a mid-range tire like the Nexen N'Priz AH5, and $77–$111 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Viva 2. A set of four therefore starts at about $164. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 185/70R14 tires?
185/70R14 is original equipment on Honda Civic (2001-2005, DX/LX), Toyota Corolla (1993-1997), Hyundai Accent (2000-2005, GL), MG MGB (1962-1980, 14x5 radial upgrade), Volvo 240 (1975-1993) and Alfa Romeo Spider (1982-1993), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 185/70R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Nexen N'Priz AH5, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Viva 2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Lexani LXTR-203 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 185/70R14 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
