Title: Uniroyal Tyres
Post by: lamakdaddy on March 19, 2014, 18:39:39

I recently mounted a set of Uniroyal whitewalls 185 75 14. They look great and best of all they were 300 USD for the set.

What was the model of the tire?  Looks nice and the price is right…

I think the Yokahama Avid Touring is still available as a whitewall.  They worked really well on my car for the princely sum of $66 USD each.

I have the Uniroyal Tiger Paws, originally bought them as a temporary tire, until I decided what I really wanted, they have 12,000 miles on them and run great.  Will keep them for awhile longer.

It doesn't look like they offer a 195/75 14 which is closest to the original 185/(80) 14's unless I am missing something.

Kevin
They are (were) avail;able in 185-14 when I bought mine about 5 years ago. Mt shop did not have a full set of 5, they had to call around to get a complete set. Maybe the 185-14 are no longer available, but if your interested have them call around. A caveat, you may be looking at tires built years ago. If you can find them give them serious consideration. Narrow WW, correct OEM size, reasonably priced.
