Morris Minor Owners Club

hi everyone
i need four new tyres for my moggy
this is the info ive got off my tyre 145 r14 76s
i typed this in to some tyre providers online and theirs know results.
am i missing any info???
and what sort of price would i be looking at??
thanks

try bull motif i think they may have some, but 145 is in short supply, u can get 155 ok

even when i search for them theirs know results
the info i need is width, profile, rim, speed and load
has anyone got the info please??
ive tried black circle and simular but know luck

145 x 80 and load 76

bull motif sell bridgestone tyres 145 x 80 for £45.00 each

No need to worry about speed rating for a Moggie

I just bought 2 x Toyo 155/14/80 from Black Circles fits the standard wheel fine and the Toyo seems to be quite a good tyre

Dennis (aupickup) had some tyres for sale recently - have you none left Dennis ?

i had 4 but they all sold

i have some good used ones

thanks for the offer
but a fresh set of rubber would be good.
roughly about
£123 for budgets from esm
and £133 toyos from bully both for 4
is this a resonable price and which ones to go for??
is their anyother places cheaper (want value for money)??

Bully's prices are always good...
Comparable to a cheap on line supplier.....

ok thanks
i think its going to be a trip to bully before the mot
whats the best size??
are 155/14/80 ok for the standard rim?

155/14/80/S is perfect for the standard rim. Compare the price with Black Circles £43.02 (fitted and delivered including valve and balance) unless you are going to fit them yourself could be a good option.

The best size for the Minor is actually 135/14. My Traveller has these on the front and the steering feel and turn in is nicer than when I have the 145 sized tyres on the front. Sadly, 135's are not available. I would use 145's as these also feel better to steer than 155's. Yes, the 145's are a little more expensive, but if you put new tyres on your Minor they tend to last so long (provided the tracking is ok) that the tyre eventually cracks due to age or has an unrepairable puncture before the tread wears out.

Bigger tyres are not necessarily better, despite modern trends.

155s are fine - just inflate them to 30 psi!

i prefer 145`s on the original skinny rims, just my choice and opinion
155 i find are a bit wallowy
