14" slam tyre advice?

[Analog]

is anyone running 14's with low profiles? if so what size have you got? and any pics would be good please

 

[Slammed]

I've got 165/60s up front on mine. I wouldn't go much lower profile though as you start to get steering wander.

i hav 55s up front on my 14s and 65s out back. no probs with steering wander and the engine does not mind to much about the rear tyres

thanks slammed.

greg are those 165's you have too? how are you? butty said you broke down the other day


also what load ratings are you guys running?

 

[retrokid]

I have 165/65/14 and they give a nice ride...

 

[dubs and classics]

i run 65's on the front as well, nice and driveable

55's do look cool though... 8)

Running 175/65 Dunlop SP LT's on the front. Got to say, they are one of the best changes i've made, the bus drives so much better than it did with the 185 commercials up front. No getting blown about, more precise, and the tyres aren't attempting to do the suspensions work by flexing the sidewalls like a trampoline! :lol:

The Dunlops are load rated at 90 as well, so high enough

Im prity sure they are 165. heres the best pic i have of them atm not great tho check out my gallery thread for other pics

yea I broke down outside of vw heritage, accelorator pedal linkage broke, went back into heritage to buy the part I need, 5min fix. spent 30mins in the queue only to have a guy tell me they are out of stock... got trailered home in the end. i was so angry. will be fixed for dubs at the park one way or another.

typical eh!


well i got a bargain on ebay, i think, £16 for two michelin 165/60's they should be with me friday so they will do for the fronts,
should bring down the monster truck look a bit

 

[Slammed]

no probs with steering wander

Nah you'd be ok with them tyres, I mean like 45/50 profiles. I had them on mine at one point and it was bloody scary to drive! :lol:

£16 is a steal! 8)
