I need to replace all 4 tyres on my van as they are starting to crack due to age.
I’m led to believe that standard tyres are 185R14C but, when I try and search for tyres, as I don’t have a side profile to input, most tyre search engines won’t work.
Any tips or recommendations?
I’m just after a good tyre with a reasonable noise and fuel rating.
Correct tyre sizes?

Re: Correct tyre sizes?
You're correct - the 80 profile doesn't get specified when buying non profile tyres, except in search engines

I recently replaced all 4 corners on my van with these tyres, very happy with them so far.

So if I just add 80 for the profile into the search I will come up with the right tyres for the van? I really need to get at done ASAP as I’m going away again in a couple of weeks.
