Best 14" tyre size for standard GD auto gearing

Post by breto »

Hi,
Can anyone tell me from experience what the best 14" tyre size/profile is to suit the standard gearing of a GD auto? I have 14" sigma alloys on the car and back tyres are 195/75 but seem way too tall for the gearing and engine.
Would welcome some advice.
Cheers.
Bret.

I'm pretty sure my dad and myself worked out that 185/60/14 worked out the closest match to the factory size when he put 14's on his blue hardtop. The overall diameter works out pretty close to the 195/50/15's that myself and a lot of others use when running 15's as well.
