Hi all,
I want to buy a wheel cover from the shop for the back of the van.
The tyres on the van are 195 R 14C light truck tyres. When I use the selector in the shop and put the afore mentioned size in it comes up with 190 85 14 and 001 size. Have I got the correct size?.
regards,
Geoff

You can confirm the size of the calc system by measuring the tyre with a tape can comparing the diameter of the actual tyre and the conversion system. The calc system uses fairly basic formulas and I am sure these are correct so I would say it is right however a measure of the diamneter will ensure and the sizes are actually based on the diameter.

Thanks David, it comes into 2150 range so i think an 003 might be it.

I hope 2150 is the circumference and not the diameter! Just measure across the front edge to egde and let me know - I may need to adjust the formula a little if it said 1 not 3 so please let me know.
