Hi I will find out soon if taller tires work for me. My original size is 185/65/14, now i Bought new summer tires and they come in size of 175/80/14. After long tire comparison I decided to bought Toyo 350 which should be LRR tires. I will put them on after 2-3 weeks. You should also notice that taller tires also fill better the wheel wells so maybe little bit less drag also
