Tyres

Post by rreems »

Hi I need to replace 2 tyres on my 68 minor and Have only just noticed I have 2 different tyre sizes! 155 R 14 80s on the front and 145 R 14 on the rear! Any Idea which one I should use please?

Regards

Richard

Up to you really and it's not that uncommon to have different sizes, although don't mix up the sides, only front and back!

145s fit nicely, 155s are a little wide for the standard saloon & traveller wheels but work fine.
68' 4-door Saloon, another 'Monty'.

Hi Monty

Thanks for the response I'll go with the 145's I think!

155,s seem to be more readily available at local tyre places and were quite a bit cheaper when I last looked.
