There are so many better tyres out there than the Firestone FR710! I'd get 185/65/14's to replace the 175's. There are more options in this size, and the 185's are an excellent fitment. If you do a lot of highway driving, choose a tyre with a wide/flat center band to reduce/eliminate highway wander. Discounttiredirect.com is a great place to purchase tyres; good selection, low pricing, and free shipping, (and no tax to NC). I buy all my tyres from them and have them installed/balanced locally for $10 a corner.
