I do not go past P5B's


If the original tyres do not say it it will be standard 80-85 aspect - Vintage Tyres, North Hants Tyres and Longstone Tyryes will have the correct type

One of my 2000's has 185 75 R14's the 2000 auto has 165 R14's and the P6B has 195 75 R14's. Take your pick!

I think the P6 2000 fitted the 165HR14 Pirelli Cinturato that has just been remanufactured.
I think the V8 cars fitted 185R14. does anybody know what brand of tyre this was?
195/75R14 is a slightly wider tyre that is about he same diameter as a 185r14 but often has a white band on it.

The Jan 1973 P6B handbook on my desk states:
Avon, 185HRx14
Winter Tyres, Pirelli Cinturato DP34 175Rx14

2000 mk2 handbook 1971 states:
TC, SC, Auto,
Pirelli Cinturato 165x14 tubeless
Dunlop SP41 165SRx14 tubeless
Same tyres fitted with inner tubes for wire wheels.
