Tyre size?

According to the VW owners manual for a late 2L the original tyres were 185SR14 which is what I have on mine (just checked)

 

yesterday we were on about offsets etc, i hope these are ok now lol, here's the box info.

 

Of course to maintain your rolling diameter you need to know what the diameter is. Miy 185SR14s are 25.5 inches dia. That is what your new tyres should be. Just ask the supplier.

 

Just found this http://www.driverstechnology.co.uk/Tyre-size-coding.htm which should help

 

Even better is this, which advises also about the chnage in your speedo reading if you get it wrong. You can compare any size to another.

cheers all sorted anyway tyre wise, 185/80/14 = 195/70/15 to the nearest it's 2mm difference

 

Glad that's sorted, I'll make a note in case I wnat some new wheels!

 

Looks very nice.

 

Lovely. Who needs lowered?

 

Can anyone tell me what size of tyres I can run on 14" rims ,lowered 1 spline at the rear with the van sitting a little lower at the front ,on saying that the engine ain't in yet ?

 

stock should fit with a mild lowering job like that
