I just want a smaller profile cause I hate baloon tyres! I had 50 profile tyres on my old 15" rims and they looked nice, and then when I went to a 60 profile it just looked so gay cause the tyres have such a huge sidewall.
and also handling, I want as little sidewall flex as possible.
And acceleration, when I had my 50 profile tyres on it was nice, and when I changed to 60 profile it made my gears noticably longer.
I have found some 195/45 R14 Tyres by a company in germany called Fulda. I'm gonna go down to Bob Jane, because it says on their website thay have exclusive import rights, and I will see what they can do for me.
As for the speedo problem, with the 60 profiles I have now with my 15" rims my speedo is out, so I am used to just going with the traffic, and just sitting 10-15kms under the speed limit at speed cameras and around cops just to make sure.
Other than the fulda tyres, the widest tyre I can find is 185 in a 50 and a 55 profile, and I don't think such a small profile will be able to stretch onto a 7" rim very safely.
I shall continue my search!Thanks for the info so far.
Cheers.
