155/80 R 14 Tyres
There is often some misconceptions wit the description of tyres. The tyre size in question on this page is correctly called a 155 R 14. Because of its simplicity to type in on a modern iphone or other such device this is often simplified to 155-14.
The initial productions of radial tyres came without the necessity to specify the aspect ratio of a tyre. In this case 80%. A 155 R 14 in modern terms would be called a 155/80 R 14, however when the size 155 R 14 came out there were no other options such as 155/70 R 14 or 155/60 R 14 and the need to call it 155/80 R 14 was not there.
This picture displays a Morris Minor 1000 fitted with a 155/80 R 14 tyre. The car was dramatically improved by fitting a 145R14 Pirelli Cinturato CA67. The correct size for the car.

A: we would suggest the Michelin 155 R 14 X.
A: if you have the wider Morris Minor Van wheels on your Morris Traveller or Minor 1000 then the 155TR14 Michelin X would be the best tyre in the size 155-14. However a 145R14 tyre is the correct alternative to the original 5.20-14 fitted by the Mogey Minor so the 145HR14 Pirelli Cinturato would be a better tyre for a Minor 1000, or Morris Traveller.
