What size should my tyres be...?

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Joker, Jan 29, 2012.

  1. I've got stock 14" wheels on my van, looking out the window I can just make out something which looks like a 185. Anyone know what the size should be?

    thanks,
    :)

    I know they should be round and they look better with a thin white wall.

    I'd go to my bus and look but I can't be bothered because it's you :hug:

  4. According to what I can see through my binoculars 185/80 R14C
     
  5. cheers Fritt. Are your wheels the same as mine? Mine are silver, though I do think they were white once

    But what shade of silver?? It's very important when ordering tyres to be specific about the silver colour.
     
  7. i don't know which colour. I only mentioned the colour to indicate that they had been overpainted before, and wondered if the thicker paint would affect tyre size? Dos colour really matter? My fuchs alloys are black and silver and they just fitted black tyres on those.

    The rains getting heavier now so I can't even see the 185 bit now. I've just remembered though that I think my wheels are off a T25. Does that matter

    I do believe the T25 had a different weight rated wheel. Much heavier too. I think this will make a difference when you order new tyres.

    Are you getting them balanced as well?? I only ask because you may need to get different weights. Heritage don't sell them anymore.
     
  9. I can't see from here if they are T25 or bay, I can't remember. They don't look balanced but the rain is getting heavier and they're now submerged. Also, whilst your on, can you go and take a look at my 'Show us yours' thread and tell me what colour my van is? I've done a quick search but soon got bored, i think the thread title is 'the Jokers bus', or something like that.

    It has a sticker somewhere behind the seat but that will necessitate me going out into said rain. I'll give k+

    No problem. I can do thy from the sofa. I took a look at it's white. Hope that helps.
     
  11. Mine are Hankook RA08's and are 185 R14 no profile percentage size.
     
  12. This thread takes laziness to a new level ;)
