Got a pair of new Dunlop 205/45R14 tyres of the 'bay but need another pair, now tried all the usual suspects including mytyres.co.uk but not able to find any - any ideas who might stock these or something similair and wider? - 215/45R14??

225/40 14 is the next size up but they're actually slightly smaller on the sidewall. Only place I can find 205/45 14 is in Czech Republic. I'd imagine they'll be special order and be rather expensive.

Can you not go down to 195/45R14? Damn sight more common and cheaper.

Surely any Dunlop supplier can order them for you?

As above, I'd go with 195/45/14s or 225/40/14s. Both sizes are in stock on the shelf in Toyo T1R flavour from camskill at about £50 a corner.
You could have had a pair of brand new 225s off me the other day for £60, but I've sold them now!

Thanks everyone (Cobblers - didn't i have the 205/45 off you via the 'bay?) Question is - Would the 225/40's go on a six inch rim?

Nah, wasnt me. The 225s weren't even all that tight on a 8.5 inch rim. If anything, 195s are a bit wide. 185s are ideal for 6" rims.
I'd go with the 195/45s.
