185/70R13 or 175/70R13 on 97 Sentra?

185/70R13 or 175/70R13 on 97 Sentra?

The previous owner has 185/70R13 instead of the stock 175/70R13 size in two mismatched pairs. The speedometer error is about 1MPH for ever 40MPH.

I was going to pick Kumho Solus KR21 for all corners regardless of final size. Excellent reviews on TireRack.com and they are cheap and have good treadlife.

Thanks!

The wheels are 5" wide, right? I'd probably go with the 175s and get a bit better mileage.

I am leaning toward the stock size on the stock steelies to get the better MPG since that was the point of this 2nd car. Its no sports sedan so I don't think 175 v 185 is going to make much difference in grip and handling.
