Alfa 105 1974 coupe correct tyre size?

[Clive Minchin]

HI All
My Alfa 105 GTV is due for new tyres. It currently runs 185/70R14 88H tyres on standard rims. I was wondering if this is the standard tyre profile (70) for these cars?

I wanted to get new tyres that are a bit more sport oriented but they all have 55 or 65 profiles.

Would it affect adversely my car if I ran a lower profile?

I was thinking about Michelin pilot sport 3s or some Yokohamas but these are only available in 55 profile.

Any suggestions for a good sports oriented tyre?


Happy New Year!

My GTV still has the original Michelin 165 SR 14 in the boot. Bit hard now but it still holds air.....not bad after 43 years.
