- Mark, Assuming you have the standard, 60-spoke wires, the correct size radial is a 165SR-14. Can be difficult to find, but they are available. Recognize that my use of the term "correct" means what w

- Hello Mark. The orginal size was 165SR X 14 inch. 185/70 X14 inch is a nice replacement. Touring type tire. JOHN

- I asked this same question a while back and received some quality answers from the group. If you want to stay with stock sizes, I find there are 2 choices. There is a Michelin 165SR14 available and a

- Actually...the stock size (at least on early B's) was 5.60x14....a size not currently made available in any of the current steel-belted radial offerings. My B has a Dunlop GoldSeal 5.60x14 in the tru

- 155 14's are almost impossible to get these days. The 175/70R14 is a good replacement as it is the same diameter as the original and can be found at a number of sources including NTW. Rick Brodeur Ra

- 185/70 R14's are just a smidge oversized in diameter compared to the original and a bit wider. I think someone calculated it to be less than 5% No clearance problems and they handle pretty well Hello

- If your rims are at least five inches wide, go for 185/70-R14. Don't fool around trying to find 165-14 if you don't have to. Save yourself some headaches. -- Jay Tilton | jtilton@vt.edu http://fbox.v
