Tire Size Question

[Buck Masterson]

OK, long story short, I bought a beater work car, (not my Corolla) put new tires on it, car went to crap.

The tires on my Corolla are 185/65-14 The tires on the other car that went to crap are 205/75-14

Would these tires fit on my 95 Corolla? I just hate to be out of the money I paid for them. The tires have less then 100 miles on them. Anyone with tire knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

The difference in sizes are substantial and even if the P205/75R-14 size would fit, (doubtful), the speedometer will be reading inaccurately, fuel economy will drop, handling will be reduced, (more body roll in turns), and the ABS braking system can also be adversely affected.

It's funny when I put the tires next to each other the difference in size! lol. Shy of a lift kit on the Corolla that would never have happened!
