195/65/15??

[AxlFoley]

Just wondering if any one runs this size tyre on their bus?

Just bought new rims with this size, its a bit smaller than I curently run (205/75/14)

14mm difference (approx) on the radius, hopefuully shouldent make a massive difference.

Got 195/65/15 on the back of my bus. Bit of a squeeze under the arch on BRM's.

Ii guess thats due to the offset of the wheels more than the width of the tyres.

do you find it over revving at all?

No, it's fine over the 30 metres in and out of the yard every day :lol:

haha, fair enough, i do a bit more meterage than that

Kind of on this subject....

Does anyone know what size tyre would have been on original 1969 wide 5 steels?

I have stupid tyres on mine currently and am considering returning to stock, also if I know what size orginal tyres should be then i can work out my speedo difference on the current tyres.

i have been trying to find this out for ages, i had a look in the manual (download from samba) it gives you a mad us size! so i still dont know.
