I went to Costco today for new tires for the 2002 Corolla and they sold me a
different size. Said they were a little bigger or something? P185 /65R14

Is this the right size for the car though?

I told the guy that I didn't want it scraping the wheel wells and he said
they wont.

2002 Corolla S = 185/65-14
2002 Corolla LE = 185/65-14
2002 Corolla CE = 175/65-14
For safety and handling purposes, all 4 tires should be the same size.

Those tires are fine for that car.

There is a placard on the driver's door frame, or inside the glovebox door,
that lists the tires for that car. The 185/65 is an upgrade from the stock
tire. The tires they sold you should make the speedometer accuracy much
tighter than it was before -- formerly if the speedo read 70 you were doing
closer to 65 (maybe under), now when the speedo reads 70 you'll actually be
doing 68 or 69.

The speedometer on my 08 Highlander was fairly close - I had to do new tires
a little over a year ago (lot of miles in first two years, got it in July of
07) anyhow could not get exact factory size - had to go to skosh bigger and
it decreased the rev's/ mile by 7 - enough to make speedometer and odometer
nearly dead on.

Thanks. Got the right ones, it seems. We have the LE.
