Wanted tyre 185R14 for trailer

[Newsreader]

Just totalled one of the tyres on my transporter, whoops :o

Looking for road legal 185R14, 8-ply, I think it's the same as a Transit tyre.

With or without rim. Could do with one, two or three, depending what you've got :)

Bernie, I have 4 175/14 Kingpin tyres on 5 stud rims of unknown origin. They are all new and have driven about 10 miles. Not quite what you are after but a complete set. Would you be interested?

Hi gripper, may be interested, so 175 would be a touch narrower than 185 wouldn't it. Do you know what ply rating they are? The current ones are 8 ply (ie van) which I need as they can be carrying 3 tons or so ... :eek:

Also how much are oyu looking for and have you got any pics? My hubs are 5 stud and the current rims have a slightly unusual sort of look to them :D

Hi Bernie, have you tryed the scrappie's or local part worn centre if you have one near to you, scrappy's are norm about a tenner inc the wheel for that size.
Cheers baz

Thanks Baz, not much near me at all :D but there is a part worn place I've been before, could give them a try. I may have another lead too ... :)

[Gripper]

Bernie, I'll seek them out over the weekend and check what they are but i think they are not heavy duty.
