175/65/14 rating system:

175 is the width of the bulge. Actual width of tread varies. Some tires with
175 rating have wider tread width than most 185.

65 is 65% of 175, which is the width of the sidewall. The bigger the number,
the more air it has, the higher its load rating.

14 is the diameter of the rim.

Sure, you can use 185/60/14. Such small difference is not critical.
