quick tyre question

Post by mirams »

With the standard 185R14C tyres I take it that 185 is the width, R14 is the wheel diameter, C is for commerical strength, what is the profile of the tyre since most specifications read 185/xxR14 ?

Thanks

Given that the diameter is approx. 650mm it works out at approx. 80.
