The 185 75 series will have a taller sidewall than the 70 series but the 205 will have a wider tread and be a bigger tire overall. Stand them side by side to see their height difference then check and see if one will rub anywhere up front with your wheels turned in each directions. If you have adequate clearance, I see no problem other than your speedometer will register a slightly slower speed when using the larger tires.

Svc tire monitor light came on my 2008 saturn aura

Most reputable tire shops have the tool to access the tire monitor system. The tire pressure sensors in each tire have a battery that goes dead eventually.

Why would a tire keep going flat when it is parked with the stem down, but not when it is up. The tire has had a new stem replaced and has been checked over twice now by a qualified shop?

If your wheel has been damaged it is possible it is egg shaped or oblong, however minutely it is bent, can cause air to leak when the tire is resting on one side but not the other. And like Steve said previously, you could have a hairline crack either around the valve stem or along the bead of the tire. If you want to test this theory have a tire shop switch two tires and two wheels. Mark them with a marker or something semi permanent to track them. If the assumed bad tire leaks on another wheel, it's that tire. If it doesn't, have a wheel shop inspect the other wheel or replace it.

1999 Buick Park Avenue. Replaced the tires, balanced and aligned. front end vibration 60-75 and car sways on rough, uneven roads. started after I replaced the tires

if this problem started after you replaced the tires then that is were you start to look for the problem.you don`t say if they were new or used tires.it`s possible that there is a bad belt in one or more of the tires.this can happen even with a new tire.the other area to check for is if the wheels were properly installed(something caught between rim and mounting surface.

Change engine il and tire pressure message how do i rest

Must have codes for check engine light cleared with scan tool. Check all tire pressures and road test up to 35 mph. Tire message should clear if low tire was problem. If light for tires remains then possible radio frequency sensor problem. Sensor replacement may be necessary. Sensors have alkaline non-serviceable batteries. If battery is dead sensor will have to be replaced.
