Hi
I have a set of wheels that came off a series 1 3500 and they are basically new still having the colour stripes around them and the remnants of the stickers. They are Michelin MX 185 R 14 90T Radial X. I have looked them closely and they do not state 8 plies so I am assuming that they are not van tyres.
I have a 66 2000SC running on 165's. Is it an acceptable swap to put the bigger tyre onto my car? I am wondering what effect this may have on the speedo and gearing of the car and whether this would be detrimental to MPG etc
I have some experience of fitting alternative wheels and tyres to cars as I have fitted 17" Audi sport rims to my camper van and sorted tyres for load rating and rolling radius to have minimal effect on speedo etc ( VOSA checked no less, don't ask :roll: ). However my rover is new to me so I am still learning
