Morris Minor tires

[Don Lattimer]

Just got a 1971 Morris Van! Tires are 165r14. What is the replacement?? Did MGs' have the same size??

Congratulations on the van!! I am quite envious. I think that the tyres are the same size as the MGB.

Hello Don,
165's are a bit wide for a Minor, 155's would be nearer the mark if they are available. Your van should be on 4 1\2" wide wheels which is near enough 125mm.

Thanks! I've figured out that my van has the 4 1/2" wide wheels so that should work. Try this link:

He's in Charleston, SC and has 4 or 5 vans. Pics would be great.

Don...

Here's a website that might interest you, it's run by a friend out of Victoria, B.C. - Ian Cox - and is all about old British trucks.

Found Nankang 165/80SR14 tires at Les Schwab Tire Stores out here in California. Fit perfect. $240 total out the door for four.

My Mum's Minor used to have Dunlop Gold Seal 5.20x14 bias ply tyres. I could wear them out pretty quickly as a 17 year old, even with 34bhp!
