    Tyres

    (Rodney) Now that a few of us have our rims all painted and ready, what tyres do we put on them, I know this is not original but I had bridgestones with white writing on them, which I thought looked good on my yellow van in the 80's. I believe the selection of 14" tyres is not that great today. What brand was a HZ sandman released with....?

    Give John Cain a call in Newcastle. He keeps stock of limited run US sourced rubber.

    Cainy will have red or white walls, in most classic rubber.

    6 inch wide..yes you can go wider but i usually run 205s on the front as it puts less strain on the front end components and makes them a nicer thing to drive..personal preferance but its worked for me for 30 years..

    I agree. The best driving HQ-WB's i've ever owned running 14" rims have been with 14x6 fronts with 205/60/14 tyres and 14x7 or 14x8 rear with 235/60/14 or 245/60/14 tyres. On Toranas I ran 14x7 with 245/50/14 and 14x8 with 265/50/14 but HQ-WB don't drive as well with these sizes.

    tyres

    currently looking at Maxxis HT760 for front sandman 6" rims 235/60/14 and for the rear 7" USA 14" rims 245/60/14 from your comments I take it that you are sugesting that the 235 are to wide for the sandman rim.I realise the tyre placard recomends 205/70HR14.The above tyres have white writing on then .If i didn't want white writting i could put UA610 on the front in 205/60/14 or 215/60/14
