	Tell me about tyres! So I have these 14" by 6" Turbovec lookalikes for my HIace The van isnt going to be lowered, if anything I plan to add a leaf on the rear to raise it up a bit. I'd like to go for some more Balloony tyres for the Vecs. They van is currently on 14x5.5j rims with 185 80 tyres, these don't look very ballonny! Suggestions!?, after all these years on RR I still cant quite get my head around tyre sizes and numbers! I'm thinking 205 80 r14s? possibly something fatter on the back?

	Have a mess about on my website (click my sig) to get an idea of what sort of difference changing the tyre sizes will make. Down at the bottom it shows you if you can actually buy the tyre you've chosen (you can click the link to go to mytyres for prices, but they are usually cheaper from camskill.co.uk)

	I have these 27 x 8.5 x 14 think they will be too wide for 6 inch rims though seen plenty of pics with them on westie's those part worn ones look the ticket if you can find some more

	Wouldn't 195/70R14 or 205/70R14 be a better bet? Samish rolling circumfence as 185/80R14 and a lot cheaper than the 205/80R14.

	195/70R14 or 205/70R14 =could be a better bet if it were a car! I'm after 8ply C (commercial rated tyres!) Either way i've found some 195 r14c cheap so I will give those a go Hardtop those are awesome! bit to extreme for what I want!
