Acceptable tire sizes for 99 Caravan

[WWIIGuy]

This may be a dumb question, but I have to replace at least one of my front tires and I want to know what tire sizes will work. I've got a couple 195/75 R14's on it now, one of which went flat. I have a couple 205/75 R14's sitting in the garage and I'm wondering if those would work just as well? I don't really want to spend $100 for new ones if I don't have to. Thanks for any knowledgeable advice that someone can give me

Two sources I checked, Costco Tires and tires.com, show two different acceptable sizes. For 99 Caravan (Base), Costco shows 205/75R14 as the standard size. Tires.com shows 195/75R14 as the standard and also shows 205/70R14 as acceptable. If you go with Costco's source, then your tire size is spot on, but if you go with tires.com, then your 205/75R14 are 5mm taller than the 205/70R14 that they recommend. I say put them on and check that they don't rub around corners and bumps. Also, make sure thatboth tires on any axle arethe same size. You also need to make sure those other tires have the correct load index.
