Hello all,
Today I had new tires put on my 1998 Accord EX 4cyl. They were supposed to put on 195/65 r15 89h tires. When I went to pick up the car they said they were out of them so they put on 195/60 r15 87h tires. Is this a bad thing. I have 30 days to have them changed if I don't like them. I did pay 5$ less for each tire. Will they have any disadvantages or advantages over the OEM size.
Thanks in advance!

you speedometer will not show correct speed.
195/60/15 smaller then stock ones by 3.1%, and that means at 65mhp on speedometer you will be actualy doing 63 mph.
BTW, did you ask for that tire size? if you did not, you can demand free replacement.
