If memory serves
me right the 6.95 x 14 changed to F78 x 14 when they went to the letters. The
F78 in today's metric would be around 195 x 14. I am sorry but I
don't remember how the 78 converter, but would make an educated guess it would
work out to around 85. So I think what you would be looking for would be 195 x
85 x 14 metric size.

6.95 x 14. now I'm wondering how to convert that to a std. metric size. That spec seems to only call out the rim and the tread width, with no mention of the sidewall height. Am I right? Any ideas? Thanks.. I just want to make sure when I purchase new tires my speedo is as close as possible to correct...I dont need any more
run-ins with Mr. Lawman..hehe
