Hi All.
I am pleased to say that my restoration has got to the point of needing to consider tyres.

I have a 1967 2 door saloon with standard engine and running gear. I am planning to use the standard steel wheels.

Would people recommend 145/80/R14s, 155/80/R14s or a different profile for 155s?

Charles Ware have 145s at nearly £80 each but can you recommend an alternative.
Looking on the internet I only see Bridgestom LM18 available that appears to be a winter tyre.

I am sure last year there were more options from cheap vendors?

What would you recommend please?

Tyre choice is diminishing rapidly now

ESM offer
A 145 80 14 Camac or A 155 80 14 Nankang

Bull Motif offer

a 155 80 14 Toyo or a 145 80 14 Bridgestone

and those are pretty much your options from the main suppliers... (they are available from other suppliers too!)

It also worth looking at Camskill http://www.camskill.co.uk

Who still sell 135 tyres (at a price!) & the nankangs much cheaper than ESM ;)

My traveller is used daily and I have found the Toyo's to be excellent in all weather conditions

The Bridgestone 'winter' tyres will be fine. I found 4 for £188 delivered on ebay just the other day. There is a thread nearby on this subject - but believe me - the car will be MUCH nicer on 145 tyres.
