ILIA Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Everyone discusses there search for the 185 r14, but never mentions if they're a 60, 65, 70, or 75 depth. I need to order tires so they'll be in when I get back into town, however. I'm not sure which specific size/depth is standard. Any advice would be appreciated since there's nobody back home to read me off the tire numbers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You want a 185R14". There is no 60, or 70 'profile' number. But if it makes you feel more comfortable, they're generally considered the same as a 185/82R14". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The 185R14 is a truck tire. Passenger car tires have the extra number in them. Truck tires do not. Truck tires have stiffer sidewalls which is important with duals, (so i was told by a tire dealer. I found a shop near my house that had them, I ordered 7 new ones and the guy went out of business before they came in. LUCKY for me, I did not pay for them when I ordered them. Now to find another dealer that will order and install them in the spring. I am looking now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 linda s Tire rack has warehouses in Connecticut, Indiana and some other places. You only pay shipping from the closest warehouse. Bus Depot is in Pa. Linda S When we got our tires Tire Rack didn't have the Hankook's so we ordered from a local independent tire shop. I would assume most can order these tires. Shop around for the best price OTD, ie. including mount & balance. vanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiter Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The most tire stores (Discount Tire, Les Schwab, Auto Zone, etc, etc) generally have a "Beat Any Price" policy. A little research can easily save you a few hundred bucks if your looking at 7 tires.
