If you did not compensate for their size in the odometer readings, and you seemed to use 2% more fuel on them, in reality they were saving you 1%...

If 175/70 R14s were OK, then get the 165/75 R14; those are just a few mm taller.
175 / 70R14 are 3% more than the 175 / 65R14 . and I can use them.

here allow a limit of + -3% in diameter.

165 / 75R14 is 3.5%. not allowed.
