Technical Rolling Radius

[lewey]

Well, if you get some 6" rims, you could run 195/45r14 Falkens or Toyo T1Rs. They are the same RR as 175/50r14 and as low as you can go on a 14" rim. First thing that comes to mind is Lancia Dedra and Thema non-turbo wheels that are 14" x 6J and will go on with small spacers I reckon.

Dimension of tires for Panda?

Which dimensions are the original tires for Panda?
On my Panda now is 155/65 - 13, but I would like to try 145/80 - 13.
Should I do it or not?

They will be fine. Lengthy discussion a few post down here.

145/70 x 13, as per the standard Cinquecentos in the 90's. They are the same rolling radius but not squeezed as tight on the rims, and should be cheaper.

Alternatively 135/80 x 13 or 155/70 x 13, both slightly taller.

This is the Panda section, you're sizes given are not relevant. No offence, like.

155/65 x 13 is a standard Panda size (CLX, Selecta etc), 145/70 x 13 is a perfectly valid alternative.

135/80 is a standard Panda size (CL, Young, etc), 155/70 x 13 is a perfectly valid alternative.

Hence completely relevant to the Panda section I think.....

OK, fair enough; it was very late when I made that post. Your clarification helps. The OP wanted to try 145/80, for which I am sure he has his own reasons. Your sizes are valid alternatives to standard sizes, but don't compare directly with the his original request, which obviously was enough to confuse me.
