185R14 vs. 195R14
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:48 am
Good morning all,
maybe someone can give me real life experience advice. I am desperately needing to change tyres on my '70 Westy with 3rib gearbox and std. 1600TP.
I am looking to get 185R14's ContiVanContacts, but it seems I might not get them but 195R14's are available. I know they will affect gearing, but to what extent. Is it a definite no no or can one get by.
Thanks for the replies and please feel free to recommend other brands that would possibly be better suited. value for money or what ever.
I just read good reviews on the Contis and thought that would be my tyre of choice.
