Wire Wheels and best tires

[hophead]

Time has now come to change the tires on the Stag. Question is what size / brand should I be looking for?

The part that makes it more challanging is I have a set of (nice!) wire wheels fitted...

Current set of tires are marked as 175 / 80 R 14. Which do (compared to my previous Spitfire's 185's) looks quite narrow. So ideally I would like something wider. Question being, if will these fit the wires?

I also know trying to find someone to balance the wire's is a challange too... (I'm South Herts based if this helps)

Advice on brands (good and bad!) also welcome.

Thanks

Al

Mine has Dunlop SP200's (195/70) with tubes, fitted by Micheldever Tyres (www.micheldever.co.uk ) down here in Hampshire. Never had any problem with balancing them at all. The only slight annoyance is that they ask me to undo the wheel nuts myself, as they don't like the idea of hitting a customer's car with a mallet :-)
