   Shouldn't be a problem, why are you doing it though?

   As long as the tyres are the same on each axle (two same at the front, two same at the back) - its legal.

   Bollocks.
   
   Having different sizes wont cause this, not having them balanced after you get new tyres put on rims will. If youve had the tyres fitted by a garage balancing will be part of the service.

   Yeah it wont cause them to shake, high performance cars have wider tyres witth a narrower sidewall as standard. Will be fine mate, i've hone it a few times

   Can you tell is it ok to put on Saxo 1.5D 185/60 R14 tyres or better to go for 185/55 R14?
   I like when the car is higher, but I affraid 185/60 R14 will mess something inside.
