    Looking for tires for 14" Fuchs.

    Hi,
    I have a 1970 T
    It currently has 185 sr 14" Pirelli Cinturato P 3 on it.
    I have it down to 4 tire sizes but I'm not sure.
    185 70 14 185 75 14
    195 70 14 195 75 14
    I am looking for decent tire that doesn't cost a fortune.
    Wondering what other 14" owners are using.
    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks
    Bernie in So. Cal.

    I would use 185 on all 4 corners. If this link works there are 2 pages of 185.70.14 tires.

    Good luck!

    I'm also trying to decide on 14" tire. Here's what I found:

    Original tire from what I could find out (approx):
    Sidewall height (SH) - 5.8"
    Total height (T) - 25.6
    Width (W) - 7.3


    195-75-14
    SH - 5.75
    T - 25.5
    W - 7.7

    185-70-14
    SH -5.1
    T - 24.2
    W - 7.3

    195-70-14
    SH - 5.4
    T - 24.7
    W - 7.7


    Speedometer will be off further away you get from 25.6 dimension. I ran a set of 185-14 Yoko on 71 T. Looked right on car and rode well. I'm considering Dunlop SP20 FE 185-70 for 914-6 and wondering if anyone has experience.
