Markgtni Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 can anyone help with tyre numbers as when I was getting ready for m.o.t I just went for part worn tyres wich ended up a lot thinner tyre than what was on it before hardly any traction atall, themetal thread has started coming through now and need decent broad tyres but apparently the tyre place need numbers before they can order them in for me :/ Quote
Bluebear Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I use 55 profile tyres on my 14"s mate, seems fine! What width are your wheels? For a 7J wheel, people generally use 195 wide tyres, and for a 6J, 185 will probably be your best bet. Edited June 25, 2014 by Bluebear Quote
Markgtni Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 cheers lad notsure if they are a 7j or 6j im guessing its a 7jtho from the numbers you give me sorta remember now theywere 195 55 14 on it Quote
Bluebear Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 6J or 7J, I think 195 still be fine on either. Quote
Markgtni Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 got 185 55 place I went to said the 195 55 14's are hard to get so went with what they had on the day as they were ready to go pop! got some bad news when I was getting them fitted tho one of the rims has a small crack in it and they said it needs sorted I just asked them to seal it up an put tyre on til I get it sorted... are these repairable or am I going to need new set of rims? again would appreciate any advice Quote
monssie477 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 185 55 14 are what standard alloys had. You could get the crack welded and use it as a rear. Plenty of companies out there who repair alloys .just do a bit of research into feedback and reviews .. Quote
