Out of curiosity (and because I do not know how old my tyres are), I decided to price up a set of NEW tyres. I was informed that the 185R/14 tyres I have are no longer available from the main/known manufaturers (unless I want commercial tyres) and the imports available are £40 a piece (not including balancing/fitting). Is this right and does anyone know of an alternative. The proprietor states that low profile tyres would catch the wheel arches and ruin the originality of the car. Before I blow over £250 can anyone offer an alternative????
