Default Tyres

Thanks Gentlemen,

I am not bothered about my 125 mph speed as I have no intention of taking
the old girl up that fast any way, I will ring my tyre places Tuesday with a
new spec.

Gentlemen,

I need a pair of tyres for my Rover P6 3500 series 1, 185 HR 14, and I
have hit a problem. I am getting a lot of teeth sucking from tyre centres
as to whether they can get them, I live in the Bedford area does any one
have any idea's please.


Will T rated (118mile/h) do, instead of H (130mile/h)?

If so, several places sell the Kumho 758 in that size, e.g.

www.tyretraders.com (about £33 plus fitting etc)

If you're searching, remember that the profile is 80, so the usual
designation is now 185/80R14

I've fitted tyres with a slightly lower speed rating than the car's
theoretical maximum to my MkVI, and took the precaution of getting the
insurers to confirm they were happy about it.
