Tyres

[RayHutch]

Hi, have searched but cannot find the answer on the forum.

I need 4 new 185R14C tyres but I need to know the profile in order to search internet tyre companies like Merit / Black Circles.

What is the profile ? No marking of this on the tyres themselves (American tyres).
Thanks !

there commercial tyres so no profile I bought these for mine 185 14C C for commercial rated tyres

Looking at the tyre ratings for those available suggests all low fuel efficiency.

Is there an Earlybay 'go-to' standard tyre - or is this an unpopular size due to lowering ?

Not unpopular as such, just won't fit properly. :lol:

They look the part.
Did you manage to find out the wetgrip / fuel rating, could see it on their website.
