Alfa Romeo 1750 on 165 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 Tyres
165/80 R14
- 165 R14 is the radial alternative to 590 - 14 or 560 - 14.
- Low-profile alternative for 165 R14: 185/70 R14
- Inner tube for 165 R14: Michelin 14D Offset Valve Tube.

- 165 R14 can also be described as: 165/80 R 14, 165 x 14, 165/80 - 14 or 165 R 14
- 165 R14 tyres were fitted by the MGB and Classic Alfa Romeo cars from the end of the 1960s right through the 1980s.
- We would suggest the best 165 R14 tyre for a classic car is the 165 HR 14 Michelin XAS or the 165 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
- A low-profile alternative to a 165 R14 would be a 185/70-14. Of which we would suggest the 185/70VR14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
- Many people fit 185/70 R14 to little rear-wheel-drive classic Sports cars like a MGB or an Alfa 1750 or 2000 Spider in search of grip.
- It is worth noting that this extra straight line grip comes at the expense of progressive handling, which is why Alfa and MG did not fit them in period.
